County Legislator Peter Savage had a fundraiser tonight at the K of C on Kenmore Avenue. A bit expensive at $100 a head, but very pleasant and well attended. The usual array of elected and party officials, friends and family, and favor seekers was in attendance. This is the life of the insider, the powerful and their attendants and hangers-on. Excellent chow, beverages and a chance to schmooze with one's peers and superiors in a relaxed venue. An ideal time to network, posture and jockey for advantage.
When the party had to come to a close, Peter looked at the groaning board of food remaining and said, "There are people starving in the world; we can't let this go to waste." Ever the opportunist, I suggested taking the treats to Paradise House. "Great idea," declared the newly minted Third District representative as he helped to pack up boxes and trays of catered food. The WNY Vibe quickly loaded and delivered this offering to Mills Street.
Life has not been kind to the ladies of Paradise House and they are not accustomed to unilateral random acts of kindness from others. Their faces lit up when they saw the unexpected feast that magically appeared. I remember when Democrats cared more about the commonweal and the welfare of people than their own personal advantage. Peter Savage is a Democrat.
