Where's Worley?

At left is a shot of the cover of the first "newsletter" that Nancy Worley (D-Alabama) had printed as secretary of state.

In case you missed the original release of this publication, allow me to present to you a scanned version of the document.

Click these links to view all 20 pages of the first "newsletter" released by Nancy Worley (D-Alabama) during her first year of office: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

Worley's newsletter is notable for several reasons:

1. Despite claiming her respect for Alabamians and the tax dollars they pay to the state, she chose to put out what is more of a magazine rather than a newsletter.
   
2. She also chose to release this beast of a newsletter not just in black and white, but with color as well, which drives up the printing cost.
   
3. She mailed the magazine to over 7,000 people, according to state records.
   
4. She incurred the expenses for this publication, including printing 20 pages in color with photos and paying for the postage, at a time when the state, including the secretary of state's office, was laying off employees due to budget concerns. (Remind you of a certain SUV?)

Does that sound like the work of a frugal and responsible officeholder?

Interestingly, as far as I know, she has not yet released another "newsletter" since then.

Thinking out loud, I figure she put out her magazine in 2003, with no follow up, as a public relations effort leading people to think she was hard at work during her first six-months in office. Her supporters, such as yellow-dog Democrats, would eat it up. Meanwhile, she probably assumed that those people who objected to her extravagant taxpayer-funded self-promotion would forget about it before her 2006 re-election campaign.
