"How to Get Rich by Recall" by two city councilors

I hear one of the recall councilors is out and about talking about he expects to be a rich man. I suppose this is via his lawsuit against Sally (for which she has yet to be served).

The suit asks for "non-economic damages of $50,000, and for an additional sum of $10,000 for each republication of the false statements" meaning $50,000 for his pain and suffering I assume (poor fellow) and an additional $10,000 for each copy of the recall statement published.

Let's see, I personally made about 100 copies of the petition and I think the City Recorder made about 60 (as part of the packet the City provided). I also made another 100 or so copies of just the statements, not the petitions, so, wow! He IS going to be a rich man. Kind of like old man Potter in "It's a Wonderful Life," rich in every way except the one that really counts.

And, let's not leave out the other councilor. I can't imagine (or let's say I can but won't share the gory details here) just exactly how excited he must be, sitting around counting his soon-to-be-hatched little chickens.

It's no wonder they filed these suits. Wonder if Sally has that kind of money? Think they'll fight over who gets what she does have? Or, will Huffman file next against the City because they brazenly and "with actual malice" made 60 copies of the petitions?

I'm glad, frankly, that they are this busy planning their wealth. At least they won't be so focused on spending the City's money for the few weeks it takes them to get their Sally-loot spent!

Maybe after they've won all their money and settled down, they can write a book, make that books, about how to get rich quick, and then sell the movie rights to Hollywood. Wonder who will play the councilors? Any suggestions?
