Rumor has it that WGEM will have a new weatherman, the rumor has it that the old one tried a Bill Clinton but a video cam caught the action. Next stop Arizona.

Today's St. Louis paper has a great article on hackers. I had a government business office in Hannibal contact me about one of their computers that a terminated employee put in a password. All he did was hit a bunch of keys for the password and then shut the computer down. They were three days trying to get into the computer and find someone to get in it for them. They gave me a call and it took me 45 minutes to get in. I found an excellent software program that diverts all cookies so they can't be used, plus it stops all banner ads and other pop up windows. It makes the pages you want to see come up a hundred times faster. It is called adsubtract. Excellent. And another great internet software program is webferret. I use this one all the time to do internet searches.

In Georgia, a City police Chief of Newnan has a sexual charge levied against him by an employee of the department.

Rumor has it that there is going to be a lot of people at Monday Nights Council meeting complaining about the police department. Looks like even the news media will be there again. Looks like it will be a fun night. My buddy may lose a little more behind.

May 29, 2001

A bald rabbit let me know that a City office employee is wanting to move upstairs. The rabbit also mentioned something about how my buddy likes to have his shoulders rubbed by the employee.

And now I receive a scathing letter to the people of La Grange, Can you guess where it came from? CLICK HERE

MEMORIAL DAY

I hope everyone enjoyed this Memorial weekend. And remembered why.

May 26, 2001

On the South side of Ft. Madison on 61 is a huge billboard stating the Mark Twain Casino is about to open in La Grange. The question is, will it open legally or illegally? Yes, in 1993, the people of La Grange voted for a riverboat casino, but what the people voted for is not what they are getting. But, here is some other problems.

1: The vote was for a riverboat casino, and that was never changed.

2: This Mayor and his Council has never passed a Council Resolution authorizing or accepting the results of the election.

3: This Mayor and his Council has never passed any Ordinance authorizing or accepting the results of the election.

4: This Mayor and his Council has never passed any Ordinance regulating any form of gambling in the City of La Grange.

5: This Mayor and his Council has never passed an Ordinance repealing the Ordinance that states that gambling can't be held where liquor is sold.

184 people have to be so proud and so tickled to death with THEIR Mayor.

6: This Mayor and his Council has never changed the fact that the vote held in 1993 was for a River Boat Casino, there was no mention of a land based Casino.

7: And, finally, do you really believe that a moral Gaming Commission will actually allow a license knowing all the problems the people of La Grange have with a Mayor that has no control of his police department and a police department that is the way it is. (The gaming Commission does read this Gossip Page regularly).

NEWS BULLETIN

THE HOUSE BY THE WYACONDA BRIDGE CAUGHT FIRE AT 12:30 AM Friday Morning.

Canton and La Grange fire departments responded.

Well, it seems that the fire department did an excellent job of putting out the fire. Fast response time made all the difference between saving the structure and losing it.

The steel for the new La Grange Community Youth Center has arrived and is being unpacked. Construction should start Tuesday after the holidays. City Hall gets another paid holiday Monday, just like the Post Office.

It seems that someone wants an alley closed in Block 39 in North addition. The City Hall must have made up new maps. North Addition to La Grange only goes to 35 and that is in the middle of Robert Farr's bean field. The only block 39 I can find is in the Wrights & Shropshires addition in the middle ward and that is the alley by Joe Schutte and behind the head of the LRO, Mrs. Dean. Well, wherever the block is, they are holding a meeting on it May 29th at 7pm. To me, the only people that need to be there are the owners of the lots bordering the alley. They are the ones who will have to live with the decision and they should be the ones to make it. I would put it up to a vote of the property owners bordering the alley. Each lot gets a vote and the majority makes the decision. For the rest of us around town, who cares?

And there will be the regular monthly Council meeting June 11th.

Rumor has it that the Mayor and my buddy are talking like they would like to fire the whole department and start over with new ones. Just when the crew was starting to back my buddy against me. Looks like my buddy may be losing some of his backside from all the chewing on it. I guess they should watch their own backs. But, rumor has it that those two or three are still meeting on the sly. Rumor is officer Carp says this will cool down and they will let us do what we want again and we will ticket every person in this town just to show them we mean business.

Now, if you were going to set up someone for something, or create an entrapment, the main thing you don't want to do is talk about it. Especially in this town. Just remember my buddy, if you do it, make sure you do it right the first time, as the black dog bites deep.

Rumor has it the Mayor has been reneging on his promises as Mayor. It seems some people have left messages for the Mayor to return their calls over five times and he still is scared to call them back. 184 people have to be so proud, and just tickled to death. He won't return calls as required by being a Mayor. He won't allow people to speak up at Council Meetings because he is afraid. Why is that all the cops, Mayor and Councilmen afraid of the people, yet want to have everyone in town arrested?

Rumor has it that some falsely arrested people and some slandered people may be a the next Council meeting in a bad mood. The Mayor may want some of the finest there to protect him from the questions he might get. Sounds like another exciting nite at City Hall.

Emailer's have been looking over the check registers I posted on the Council Meetings page. The questions I have been receiving is about where the money from the Casino is being posted, about the money for the LRO, and money for the Fire department, etc. I specifically asked for copies of ALL the CHECK REGISTERS which the law allows anyone to get, but I get only part of the bank account records.

May 24, 2001

The City crew did an excellent job of cleaning up the sand bags at the Mayors home and business. They even helped move the sand bags for the Liquor store. Speaking of the Liquor Store, the letter to the editor in the Canton paper was a real pot shot at the people of the town. Lucky for the Liquor store that the City had all those police officers to help sand bag. I have never figured out how that works. Does the customer come in while the officers are there, stock up on beer and liquor, and then announce that he is having a big party and where it is? Or does the customer wait around until break time is over before going in? Maybe they can can have the brave one go into the bar and sit there on his break to spread the good will around a little?

Do you know where Knox street is? It seems that all the new ones have not been given a City map so they can find their way around town and were calling each other asking where Know street was. Rumor has it that there were cars running all over town trying to find Knox street.

The other day it is rumored that they were dispatched to the Marks Cemetery on Route C. Rumor has it that Brad Davis has been having trouble keeping those dead people from moving around. And on that note, I have noticed that most every night around 9 or 10pm, a police car comes to the Marks Cemetery, (the one on North 5th street, not on Route C) and as soon as the car gets to the Cemetery, all the lights come on. Once the car goes out of the Cemetery, all the lights go out. Are we scared or what? maybe they are afraid of losing their shirt.

Rumor has it from the bald rabbit that the Mules system at the police station isn't working any more and 28s have to be called by radio. I was beginning to think for awhile that I was jilted, I hadn't been receiving my usual calls.

Well, the meetings page now has the January, February, March and April check registers on it. If you want to see how much any employee is making, how much the police cars cost, how much extra money the Fire Chief makes, it is all there. (click here). It as all straight and in line when I did it, but the new page design makes two lines out of one.

May 22, 2001

HOUSTON! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I received a copy of the Council Meeting April 18, 2001 at 7pm in which the City Council certified the City election of the mayor and three Councilmen. The tallies shown (go back to the main page and click on council meetings to see for yourself), Harold 184, Andy 181. That totals to 365 votes. Now, the Councilmen, Powers 61, Lowe 50, Heindselman 54, Harscher 36, Cox 41, Stiffy 48, Henderson 43, Wiewel 10. If you add those up, they come to 343 votes. Now, we all know some people will vote for a Mayor and not a councilman and some will vote for a councilman and not a Mayor. The City Clerk says there was one spoiled ballot.

Already today I have had an emailer tell me to ask the Chief Judge Schutte. 13

If you add it to the Mayors race, that makes it 366 votes. If you add it to the Councilman race, it makes that total 344. HOUSTON, the problem is, the Lewis County Clerk sent me a copy of the list of people who voted in the election. Their total was 372 voters. I can't find anyone to tell me what happened to the other 5 ballots. Those 5 ballots could have made Andy a winner by 2 votes. Instead of Harold by 3 votes.

Another emailer corrected me on the difference. The difference he said would be 6 not 5.
So Andy could have been the winner by 3 votes instead of Harold.

Plus, you have got to go back and read those Special (secret) meeting minutes. You will not believe what you read. Martini and Weasel were at their best at the last meeting. See how all those new cars were bought. Such a deal. See how much money is borrowed from the Casino already.

Then, we find out that the story of holding back on the radar traps was bogus. A customer came into town yesterday and a GESTAPO was at the Memorial Cemetery hiding with radar and got a jeep coming into town. Let's see now, that is about how many blocks outside of the City limit sign?? I'll bet the Gestapo could do real well in West Quincy, or maybe down on interstate 70.

May 21, 2001

I guess by now everyone knows that the police now have caller ID to catch anyone calling in to report anything. They have also noted that if someone making a call to the police department presses *67 before they call, their caller ID will not be displayed.

Since the big chat by the Mayor Thursday, it seemed that everything was settled. The whole weekend seemed really quiet. No sirens, nothing, even the scanner was quiet. Little did I know what was going on until coffee this morning. First, there is the rumor that a wife-to-be is pissed because of an awfully expensive dog is tearing up the house. Then the big rumor about a hotshot crashing a wedding reception and almost got his ass whipped. But, rumor has it that the rabbit lost his shirt in running scared and lit out in his car. I guess he showed his friends what brave one he is. But, the questions I heard were,,,, Why did Kojack go where he wasn't invited to begin with?,,,, and why didn't he just leave when asked? I guess that a men-in-blue thing do.

I thought that the Casey sting was done by the big boys. But, rumor has it that a cityboy sent in the minor to purchase the alcoholic beverage. But, doesn't the same Ordinance state that it is illegal for a minor to purchase the same? Sounds like a problem if someone wanted to fight it.

And this rumor of the smoker investigating his boss keeps popping up. Looks like sooner or later we may be having another election to elect a new Mayor.

May 18, 2001

Yesterday was a busy day at City Hall. It seems a COP was taught a little lesson about the breathalyzer. Too bad you lost. It is also rumored that the Mayor took of his skirt and put on his pants and laid down some new rules. No more internet. No more tickets unless they can prove the driver was doing 18 mph over the limit. No more hiding behind the Imperial gas station. No more using the Ball park or Cemetery as hiding places. I guess the ice cream business is really down and needed some help. And the rumor is that my buddy the chief is smoking an awful lot again. I thought the boss said quit some time ago.

Rumor also has it that a couple of "officers" and maybe three are meeting and talking about how they are forced by others to harass the public and how to get it stopped. It is even rumored that the chief is picking on the dispatchers now. I guess that is why no one will apply for the dispatchers job and the officers now have to dispatch to each other.

After looking at downtown today, it would be nice to see the Street Super get with the Water Super and Fire Chief and wash the mud off the streets as the water goes down. But, rumor has it that the street super wants to wait until the mud dries and then sweep it off.

And if they do nothing else, at least remove the barricades to the Wyaconda bridge and some down town that are in the way. A good mayor would have been on top of this already and had it done. A good Mayor.

As Councilman Sherwood says, "We were protecting their damn boat, what do they expect"? Duh?

May 17, 2001

Rumor has it that the LAPD has had their internet wings clipped. I guess that means they won't be able to see this page anymore. So, rumor has that last night was get even night to the people driving around La Grange. Stop after Stop after Stop after Stop. Well, I guess that is why city hall today was so full of driving criminals that they were rumored to overflow outside.

At least the PNJ gets the news straight. Last night on WGEM a COP was heard to bless my buddy a chief with saving of those three people from drowning. But, today in the PNJ it tells is right. It was all over before my buddy and the first even got there.

The PNJ (Press News Journal) had a nice article and pictures of Mr & Mrs Robert Farr celebrating 50 years together. They weren't a bad looking couple back then.

I noticed that the Street Super drove down to South 2nd street to see if it was dry enough to pave yet. Well, another paid vacation day.

Did you happen to read the article in the Quincy Herald Whig about the GESTAPO Raid on the Gambling Boat? Looks like the attorney and the owner of the Casino are really pissed off. But, Councilman Roger Sherwood spoke the eloquent reply for the City and the Police. Well, you dumb sob's, we were just protecting your $15 mil casino.

May 16, 2001

A letter from a concerned citizen.. CLICK HERE

Due to the flood, there has been little activity with the police as they are confined to patrol 2 blocks now. And due to the flood, the Street super can't work on 2nd street, therefore no streets will be worked on. And due to the flood no sewer lines on Main street can be replaced, therefore no other work can be done either. So there is nothing to report today. just the concerned citizens letter.

May 15, 2001

GOODBYE MARTINI (PAVE MY DRIVE FREE)

GOODBYE WEASEL ( NO PRAYER HERE)

GOODBYE MADD

________________________________________________________________________

Pictures of the flood (click here)

Looks like my buddy the chief survived another Council Meeting. Sooner or later these new Councilmen will not take the heat the last three did and let it slide. I wonder of this new Council has the stomach to call in the State Auditor to audit the books this time? Or, will they use Wade and Stables again to use whatever figures the Mayor gives them.

Rumor has it that the Street Super is pissed. He was overheard to say that he had been planning for months to resurface 2nd street from the Casino North this week and now the river is over the road. Rumor has it that he now has to wait until the river goes back down and then wait another month to let the pavement dry before the work can be done. Seeing this was his only project this year, he will have to take a couple more paid vacations.

But that is all right, rumor has it that the Water Commissioner was planning to repaint the sewer plant to match the colors of the Casino this week too. Now that will have to wait until later this year.

Ten officers with five cars to watch two blocks of Main is not too much.

The joke of the day. One mile of sand beach. A huge pile of sand stocked by the Corps of Engineers on the North end FREE for the taking. The Mayor has the City crew go to the sand company to pay big bucks for sand. Oh, yes, I know it is underwater now, But for two years it has been easy to get to and use. This is what those 184 voters like to see.

And, I hear now that the Council Meetings are smoke free.

May 13, 2001

Last evening on the news we saw the Fire Chief talking about the 2nd rescue of people who ran their car into the water. I found it amazing that he never gave credit to some local people who actually rescued the people from drowning, long before he got to the scene. The credit for saving those people lives goes to Ed Cox and Bruce Brill and his wife. Ed swam out and helped while Bruce and his wife used their canoe to get them to shore. It was all over with long before the Fire Chief got there with the emergency vehicle steaming which died and they couldn't get started again. Take another bow fire chief and down another one.

Next on the Fire Chiefs to buy list, is a DONZI boat for water rescue and the police to chase speeders through the water. Take note Councilmen.

NOTICE: The police will arrest you for driving in the water by the Casino, but the Mayor will give amnesty to those who go through the water to get to his ice cream shop. Makes you wonder why all those 184 voters didn't take him up on FREE ice cream to help him sand bag or get his stuff out of the basement full of water.

Here is a picture of the Police/fire rescuing a stupid driver. click here if you look close, you will see why the river rose two inches. He got in the water.

PLEASE PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THEMSELVES.

We all now that you all are so much smarter than the public.

Arrest those stupid people for driving in the water. Especially those boat workers.

The question is, are you going to chase them through the water? Well yes!

Rumor has it that some people can't even have a wedding reception "Out of the City Limits" without the locals wanting to arrest. Yet, parties can be seen a lot just one block of the Stop light with no problems at all.

I hear there is rumor going around about a fat butt that can't get into the back seat on sunny side bridge road. And there is the one about a person in town wanting sand bags and the Mayor won't answer the door or calls. But, I guess you can always count on brother to bail you out.

I keep getting more and more emails and calls supporting Tim Rossiter. Some of these callers I had no idea that they supported him. Several asked if there was a way to get rid of the Chief. Not one email or caller supported the Chief in any way. Every one supported Tim Rossiter. Several became hostile about the way Martini and Weasel were acting.

I'll bet the fat one can remember that night he stacked the deck with trailer park trash and filled the room with more trash and pulled his coo. But, I'll bet the fat one will remember last Thursday night for a long time. He and his three cohorts had it all planned out to do their best again, but boy was that sand bagged. No pun intended Mayor. Even the fat one's two biggest supporters the last time came out against him later.

Now for the joke of the day. Rumor has it that a stop was made of a speeder. After the bald one ran the usual 28-29-30-31+32s on the car and driver, it was reported that a bold broadcast was made that a warning was given for the driver going 14 miles over the speed limit. Can anyone believe that one??

Rumor has it that the Marshall may be top dog after all. Just a little more clearing up details may make a dramatic change in things.

May 12, 2001

The joke of the day. Today I received a letter from Earthlink that in a few "weeks" from now I will receive an important email that will include a new username for my account. I think by now everyone has called in and got their NEW username and password. Right after everyone has been shut off the past few days.

It goes on to say that we will al get fast, reliable Internet service and AWARD-WINNING technical support.

Now, everyone should be on the floor laughing.

On the issue of the Meeting Thursday night, the town was abuzz about the attempted coop that failed.

May 11, 2001

Well, the big impeachment came to a screeching halt when the media and many supporters of Tim Rossiter showed up. Too bad the Mayor and Weasel and Martini were chicken and afraid to let anyone in the audience speak up. Cluck Cluck Cluck. Too bad Martini, I know you really wanted to take Tim's place.

The people of La Grange are slow to wake up to all the problems, but they are waking up and now 3 of trouble makers are gone, two more to go.

By the way Weasel, what did happen to all the equipment you put on the Chief's truck? It seems that some lies were told at the meeting tonite. A couple of the Councilmen said that they never ever get any calls complaining about the police harassment. Yet, their wives have been heard doing a lot of complaining about all the calls they have been getting.

Past Mayor Murphy stood up and explained that at the time the Chief was hired, he was allowed to put lights, radio, and all on the Chiefs truck to drive back and forth as an emergency vehicle. Then he was later "allowed" to use a police car. BUT NOW, that there are 10 officers on line, there is no need for the chief to take a car home, especially with gas so high.

It is rumored that the Mayor is throwing out tickets right and left of supporters and the Attorney is throwing out a lot of stupid tickets.

By the way Stiffy and Henderson. Rumor has it that the Chief doesn't want either one of you or Tim on the Police Committee and has ordered the Mayor not to put any of you on that Committee. And another rumor is that you won't be on the Finance Committee either. But, remember this, committees are appointed with "COUNCIL" approval.

I was in Monticello today with my lawsuit against another telephone company. Out of the seven lawsuits I have filed on my own without an attorney, I think this is the only one I won't get what I want, "this time". Anyhow, I took the time to ask two attorneys and a judge about the City charter about appointments and electors and residing in the City limits and Every one I showed the Charter to agreed with me and could not believe the City attorney can't see it. In relation to the lawsuits above, even today I got a call from another attorney, this one from Georgia wanting to know how I beat AT&T twice in Court. Each one is amazed that when they bring up lawsuits - 900 numbers - at&t with Nexis, they get a list of suits and only two show up as a loss by AT&T, to me.

This is a heads up notice. Two petitions will be circulated around town soon. Be prepared to sign on.

May 10, 2001

WAAA Mommie!! That man put my name on the gossip page. WAAA

Mommie: My fat butt boss wants to sucker me into suing. He didn't tell me anyone can get ppls. He didn't tell me all things I have to let the world know about me. Mommie, help me. I was told by my boss that I would make a lot of money and now I am spending all "my" money. Mommie, why did you have to give me a girls name? Why do I have to be so short? How come you keep telling me Yul Brenner was a good looking man?

Rumor has it that some people are mass emailing 60 minutes to get them to come to La Grange and do a story on the police state. My opinion is don't stop there, email NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX. Go for Dateline and 48 hours.

If you couldn't get on the internet all day Wednesday after the Gossip page changed at 5am, here is a tip, the computer parts for you to get to the internet are right below the police department. Guess who has a key to go in and turn it on and off??

On another matter, A truck tried to deliver a load of obsolete Dell Computers to Mark Twain Computers, but before the man unloaded the truck I found that the last per of the name wasn't Computers. It looks like someone bought some overpriced dead end computers. If they had only asked, I could have saved them several hundred dollars. Oh, well, it isn't his money. I redirected him back through the water.

May 9, 2001

And the jokes keep on coming.

Did you hear the one about the key stone cops? Well it goes like this. The gambling boat in order to provide some employment for the learners has one of stay at the boat each night to guard the machines. Well, it seems that poor ole officer Shawnee wasn't told. He drives by, sees a door open, promptly goes in "GUNS DRAWN" and wrestles the hired security girl to the floor and "handcuffs" her. Then calls for backup to keep this little girl down. Then rumor has it that his backup calls more backup from another town and it must have looked like a full blown SWAT team drug raid on the boat. OOPS. sorry, ms. security guard.

Some day, some innocent person is going to get shot by the police, right here in La Grange and the Mayor will be "tickled to death". Martini and Weasel and MADD will say "Hey, chief, party on dude."

I think this one goes along with the three arrested and delivered to Marion County jail for taking a long past yard sale sign on a street light pole a couple of days ago.

Rumor has it that there seems to be some interest in the woods near Winships by an un-appointed during off hours many times but when there is a drug raid, the un-appointed hides. Just a rumor.

May 7, 2001

Big bunch of rumors today. First off, it is rumored that an employee at Casey's was conned by a couple of young guys into selling them some alcoholic beverage. It was a sting and the employee will take the fall. It wasn't too long ago a sting was perpetrated on another business, only that time it was with cigarettes being sold to a minor. What is needed is a phone network between all the businesses that sell alcoholic beverages and tobacco products so that when one is caught in a sting, the others are quickly notified. Then when the little bastards go to the next place to perform their act, the business can call the law on them and have them arrested for trying to make the illegal purchase.

And then, there is the rumor that a "newby" (new person) in town decided to kill himself this morning. Don't know who he was though.

Now, I hear that there will be a big todo at the next Council Meeting Monday night. Rumor has it that it is big possibility that a couple of the new Councilpeople will be yes men to the Mayor.

The State of Missouri has a no smoking LAW on the books that prohibits smoking in City Hall as well as the Council Meetings. For the past few years, the City Attorney has been afraid to enforce the law. The Mayor and most of the Council don't want to enforce the law, but rumor has it that a Councilman is going to bring up the question of the City violating a State Law. And then, another person who attended a Council meeting with a breathing problem had to leave is rumored to be complaining to some Government entity like the Disability department to file charges.

Another rumor is that the way the Mayor is keeping his voter base is that he is tearing up tickets, even dwi tickets. See there, who said you can't buy votes.

And then there is the email complaining about the Fire Chief. It seems that the LAFD was willed a house to be used for fire training. A few week ends ago, the fire department went to the house and promptly set it on fire and burned it down. Now, the next time you go to Quincy, just drive a little ways past Ramsey Jones and look at the mess the LAFD left on the mans property. The emailer went on to say that it would have been a nice gesture for the LAFD to clean up the mess before they left. Oh well, so much for doing what's right.

Finally, it seems the City Attorney still has a problem reading the La Grange City Charter and Ordinances. It seems he doesn't see or understand words like "elected" or "appointed" or "resident". He also a few years ago allowed the City to hold a City election on the wrong date, as he couldn't figure out the difference between the first Tuesday after a third Monday and a third Tuesday. So much for passing the bar. Kind of reminds you of Martini and Weasel.

May 6, 2001

There were several emails interested in who MADD is. MADD is Mike Lowe, Mad Against Drunk Drivers. You would think that a person that is passionate about drunk drivers would ask questions about someone he is in charge of. But, if you are afraid to do something about what you believe in your heart is right, there is something wrong with your life.

IF, a person as a Councilman or Mayor, believes that what he is doing is right, he should not be afraid to let the public know how and where he stands on the issue. For a Councilman to attend meetings that were to decide to close our school, as Ralph Martin did many times, and not let the people of La Grange know, is in my opinion a person out for himself and not the community or the people of his town. AND, a Councilman who attends meetings that had on the agenda to place a Sewer Lagoon on property above Les Collier and next to Bert Cottrell and other neighbors and not let these people know, also is of low moral character.

The people of La Grange and even this Gossip Page are not aware of ALL the secret meetings held by Martini, Weasel and Madd and the Mayor that have been affecting and will affect our lives in the future. There has to be something morally wrong with these people to hide their actions from the public the way these people do. And, I am afraid that a couple of the new councilmen just elected may be the same. I hope not, but indications so far from rumors is that these will follow the others.

Now for the Gossip:

Rumor has it that MADD operating behind his neighbors back was looking at the City putting in a HUGE sewer lagoon right behind his property. I suppose that once this is done, he will move.

The next rumor is that somewhere there is a discrepancy with some accounting. At one Council Meeting it was said that the City would allow the Casino to give $100,000 to the LRO. Now the figure has changed to $50,000.00. What happened to the other 50 G's Mayor???

Rumor also has that the Mayor wants to build a new large police station downtown with a jail to hold several prisoners. I guess the word No from Lewis County, Marion County, and Clark County was a good message. Rumor has it the Chief flatly rejected they move to the new Fire Station and add on and the Mayor said yessah yessah Master Mike.

184 down form 187 have to be so proud. All this just wants to tickle Martini (pave my drive free) and Weasel (no prayer here) to death. Where will they hide after two weeks??

It is also beginning to come out that the new Councilman that was recently voted in for the North Ward suckered a lot of voters. Who would have thought that he had two sides of his mouth? Well, like some of the others, he will be a one term councilman.
