* A flyer posted at the Capitol Complex…
Um. OK. That’s kind of a difficult invitation to turn down. And “selling” votes? How, uh, ethical of them.
Just kidding, of course.
Caption?

Your only chance to get “burned” by the Executive Ethics Commission without an indictment.

The cookoff ends precisely at 1 p.m. Anyone caught eating chili at their desks after 1 p.m. will be investigated and reprimanded (possibly fired) unless they have prior written permission from their supervisors.

“Executive Ethics Commission Chilli -
It’s Hot and Grilled, just like our Office Credo”
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Oct 22, 12 @ 11:58 am
It’s tough to decide which will be tougher on the poor gut of a participant: the chili or the executive ethics commission.

Let’s cut them a little slack here, folks. The more they appreciate that they are human, perhaps the more they will appreciate that we are, and that there’s a difference between mickey mouse bs and corruption

Executive Ethics Commission chili….within 24 hours, it will alert you as to which part of your body we will own if you break any ethics rules.

A flyer for the EEC Chili Cook-off in October, 2012. Investigations have shown that this was actually a clever ruse to allow the EEC to place tracking devices inside the bodies of all employees, allowing the EEC to track their movements at all times.
However, they did not achieve 100% coverage, due to the $5 fee charged to participate. Some employees opted out. It was revealed that the $5 charge was to cover he cost of the devices. EEC did not have enough funds to cover the cost due to budget cuts.
