City workers in 9 de Julio, Argentina, say they were forced to attend a birthday party for Mayor Hugo Uzair. To add further insult, they were charged for tickets. Those who didn't have the money had the money deducted from their paychecks. Uzair has at least one defender, however. "People love my Huguito, people want to celebrate his birthday but we have to gather money to pay for the food and drink we are going to serve," said his mother Fatima.
