The Mathes Mystery

I agree with Robin. Just what the hell does Mathes do all day, and why doesn't he have to show up for work like everyone else? She suggests County Comptroller Eliot Auerbach look into the matter:

Hey Eliot – if you’re on a quest for good attendance, how about telling us where the heck Sandy Mathes is? I am calling on you to investigate the whereabouts of Mathes, our newly hired employee in the Legislative Clerk’s office. He appears on budget line 10401055 as a Deputy Clerk for $37,500 in case you’re wondering and he doesn’t seem to ever show up for work. Perhaps you can tell us what exactly his job duties are and where he’s doing them. We didn’t know the County offered a work-from-home program and if we do you might want to tell the CSEA. I’m sure they’ll be delighted to hear the news.

Or maybe some intrepid reporter at a local newspaper could start, you know, asking questions about Mathes's apparent absence.
