Councilman Booted For His Farmville Obsession

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 31, 2010 @04:42AM from the think-of-the-crops dept.

Bulgarian Dimitar Kerin won't have to decide if he should tend his crops or pay attention to Plovdiv City Council business anymore. The committee voted him off 20-19, saying that he obviously "needs more time for his virtual farm." From the article: "Kerin was not alone in his obsession among council members. Council chairman Ilko Iliev had previously warned several of them that the new wireless network and laptops provided to all 51 council members were not to be used for playing games on social media sites during budget meetings. Kerin was singled out for continuing to manage his farm and milk his cows despite Iliev's warnings. "

That government which governs best, governs least. If he's playing Farmville, he can't be doing too much to interfere with people's lives.
