Sorry for not responding yesterday, after I posted my original comment I was busy with work, and didn't look at this site the rest of the evening.
My reasoning for thinking Mr. Harris is out for himself is based on the interactions I've had with the man. I've tried on multiple occasions to strike up conversations, or just be polite and offer a greeting, and I've been met with a cold, almost arrogant nature. I will note, I've seen him be very nice to people in town, but those people are "connected" or decision makers.
I don't think he was looking for a paycheck, and I apologize if my commentary indicated that he was. I should have been more descriptive and direct in my commentary, but as the election is now over, I'm not going to try and kick him while he's down.
