Weinstein, who also served as mayoral chief of staff and headed the city’s Super Bowl host committee, will work 10 months of the year, then take two months off without pay in the spring to fulfill his statehouse obligations, said State Attorney-elect Angela Corey.Weinstein was elected Nov. 4 to represent House District 19 in Mandarin and aspired to become House speaker.
Corey said Weinstein will be in charge of her office’s administrative and budgetary functions, the same position he held under former State Attorney Ed Austin before Austin was elected mayor in 1991.

Weinstein says he’ll work at the SAO 10 months and take 2 months off without pay to attend the Legislative Session. Interesting. I guess he’s not planning on attending any of the legislative committee meetings where the majority of the work on the legislative bills is done.
I can’t wait to make some public records requests to find out how much time he is spending on legislative issues while he’s supposed to be working at the SAO.
Political paybacks are great, aren’t they?
