Hey Meduza1, you're becoming a celebrity in this infamous blog! And I tell you, you seem to know your history. Now, help me on this one, how long ago did the city stop having dog licenses issued by the City? Wasn't it about 10 years ago?

The point I want to make is this, I can remember that Hooper stopped dealing with licensing at least since 1997 or 1998. Let's say 6 years for the sake of an example.

For at least 6 years, Andrea Hooper has been getting paid for something she is not doing, that is, licenses for businesses and for dogs.

Let's look at the following formula, please correct me if I'm wrong:

6 years x 12 months = 72 months.
72 months at $817.16 = $58,835.52
$58,835.52 x 2 = $117,671.04

In this hypothetical example, the City Clerk of the City of Lynwood has been paid $117,671.04 for something she doesn't do, or hasn't done!!!

If this example were true, would she need to payback the money to the City? Rumor goes it that Rodriguez is in trouble for about $5,000 bucks the City paid his store, because this is a conflict of interest. What would happen if my example were true?

What happens to an elected official who gets paid all this money for something (in this case) she doesn't do or hasn't been doing in years?

I would think she needs to reimburse the money.

Of course not, the woman is evil. She is capable of anything and everything. Don't let her fool you with her age. Just ask her staff, they'll tell you. Or ask the following:
Rita
Deborah
Theresa
All 3 have worked with her, and having nothing good to say.
