It Might Be Worth Millions

I once heard Charles Carpenter say "crime doesn't pay." Maybe he should change that to "it didn't pay for him." That must be a cliche some corporate attorney created after getting a big payday after closing a big deal. I don't think you could get the likes of Leslie Ballin or Steve Farese to agree with that statement. The business has treated them pretty good so far. So much so they both passed it on to their sons as their fathers did to them. Charles Carpenter has two sons and neither of them is a lawyer. If they are they don't work with him. Seems at least one of his sons would be in line to take over such a successful family business if by chance he does win the special election. Rather than have to live somewhere else because they can't find a job in Memphis. Could this firm really just be a way of justifying a bigger paycheck from the city?

I have to question him having a vision for the city. He didn't seem to have one for himself. Now I see why Charles Carpenter is so willing to give up his thriving law practice. He will probably soon be experiencing a tremendous drop in business anyway. When one client provides over 90% of your business. That's who you really work for. The other business you do is just on the side. For the last seventeen years Charles Carpenter has worked for the city of Memphis at a average of over $300,000 annually. That's more than any of the mayor's appointees make. All things considered. His message should be to anyone that listens. Prepare yourself and be ready to get in where you fit in. It might be worth millions.
