The other important distinction is that her salary is paid by taxpayers dollars.
This might shock you, but we agree again here FL! Diane CU attending city functions while obviously in the midst of the campaign is ridiculous. She is currently the deputy mayor no less (I am pretty sure that is a rotated position between all of the alderman) and this affords her more publicity.

I am a hypocrite here though, in the sense that if I were to run I would not give up my practice. I would hire someone on, or make some arrangements to have someone help me out, but almost certainly not give up my business.
