Came accross this story on Total Buzz this morning. To paraphrase Mel Brooks, “It’s good to be the King!”
County CEO hogs two parking spaces, raises workers’ ire
by NORBERTO SANTANA JR.
Ever drive to the local mall, or workplace, and find that someone driving an expensive SUV resembling a Star Wars battle cruiser has taken up two parking spaces?
Well, that’s what county workers are seeing pretty often. And like most work places, they know who’s driving the big Cadillac Escalade.
It’s the CEO.
Tom Mauk – who oversees the county government’s sprawling bureacracy – has been making daily friends on a regular basis by parking his county-purchased Caddie on two slots.
The car was featured recently on an attack ad run by the local union across the local airwaves. And in the blog comments on our post regarding the ad, employees started an interesting discussion about what that says to the others. Apparently, some workers are even starting to take a few spaces themselves and leaving notes to the other drivers that reads, “You’ve been Mauked.” Â
My comment to the post was simple enough:
Kind of reminds me of my big fat cat. Sprawled out on the sofa taking the whole thing up leaving no room for others. But heck, Mauk is a fat cat, he’s earned his “perks.†He should be able to enjoy them. Right?
After all, when you rise to the heights of senior management you’ve earned the right to push others out of the way. SNARK!

Did you know that Mauk and the supes don’t close the door when they use the bathroom? That’s because their poop doesn’t stink.
