“He DoorDashed during hours when he was supposed to be working exclusively for the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and the citizens that we serve,” Weintraub said. “The people of Bucks County should expect that somebody working the capacity of first assistant district attorney should have their complete and undivided attention when duty calls,” Shore’s statement read. When the pandemic destabilized jobs across industries, millions of people sought work with companies that subsist on contract or “gig” labor. Shore earned $125,435 in 2019 as first assistant district attorney, making him the 10th-highest-paid county employee, according to public records. He said Shore’s work with DoorDash does not appear to have had an effect on his cases but that the office is willing to review cases he handled.
