@Rick Tubania:  How do you know that he's speaking metaphorically?  Do you know something that the general public doesn't know.  Is he a good friend of yours?  If so, well that puts your comments into the "I am biased as heck on this issue because the Mayor is my friend" category which means you have absolutely no credibility as a public commenter.  Did you even read the article?  It clearly states that Caldwell who has stated on multiple occasions that he's the Mayor 24/7 takes 2 hours of vacation time off on a regular basis so that he can go and make somewhere betwen $200k and $299k a year in the capacity of being a board member of Territorial Savings.  The only thing you and I agree on is Caldwell's actions are technically legal and pass the ethics commission's extremely low bar.  Is his extra-curricular employment at the amount that he's being compensated at through the abuse of his vacation time morally right?  I would say no and there needs to be a law against it.
