The wall is a symbol of,” The rules don’t apply to me.” Their campaign issues are for a bigger garage than the current designs, a pretend arguement for a LGBT flag to fly at Village Hall and the resurrection of a 90 ft baseball diamond at Schedler and oh yes, the most bogus issue of all: a return of civility.

For many, it is their first real job and a chance make a little money. It could also be their first experience in a professional work environment.

You wouldn’t know it, but one of the least rewarding places to intern over the summer is on Capitol Hill.
