Lawrenceburg has enough money to pay for all this stuff, but they can't throw a few bucks Watson's way so he can futher exploit the good folks up in St. Leon for the Benefit of Maxwell and friends?

What is up with that?

Anonymous said...

Could it be Mayor Cunningham and the Lawrenceburg Council may have compassion for all those folks Mr. Watson is trying hurt to benefit himself and his clients/buddies? One could presume, that the good Mayor and the Council do not spend much time slumming with the St. Leon sewer thugs or with Jeff, Rick, Charlie, Maynard, Liz, three or four lowlife attorneys and the county republican leadership?

Trying to hurt? I'm sure Mr. Watson has been instructed to employ a more Orwellian euphemism such as:

"People who choose not to comply with the chosen few who run St. Leon's sewers for the sole benefit of the chosen few alone, would not be punished. They would simply incur an..."unpleasant outcome."

Sometimes I hear something screeching late at night from my barn: "unpleasant outcome...unpleasant outcome!!!!!!!"

Upon venturing out to the barn with my Dollar Store two dollar flashlight (batteries included) all I spot in the rafters is L. Parvin Price hanging upside down from my barn rafters winging and clawing through his bat rolodex of like-minded bloodsuckers in Dearborn County!!!!!!!!!!!

L parvin price has Tucker and LMS in his claws, therefore expect the unexpected in the northern district of Dearborn Co.

The three or four republican leadership toadies left, who have yet to notice the rest of the county has been laughing at them for some time now, need to flex their sagging and atrophied political muscles and strong-arm Mayor Cunningham and the Lawrenceburg Council and make it clear to them who once ran this county…before the republican leadership became the laughing stock of the county that is. Maybe Bob and Gary could show off their Frank Linkmeyer pictures in their wallets to prove their bona fides as once cross-party political powerhouses. They could trumpet their political savvy as they were able to put together a bi-partisan group of development interests and still lose the election. Just a thought.

Maybe some of our more wayward and lost development types and the lesser angels they seem to attract and employ, made up of the spiritually needy and greedy, who have given up all for the gold and silver of promised fast and easy riches, could be blessed to get some religion, or at least some sort of rudimentary faith that there is indeed a Higher Being keeping account of their actions. Maybe just maybe that will be enough encouragement from up High to demonstrate to these lost and vainglorious egocentric souls, their failings as to their previous, existing and anticipated treatment of their fellow brothers and sisters of God’s family.

John Maxwell says God ,which car company makes them?

God makes John Maxwell feel a little crowded in Dearborn County.

He has been consulting with Bob Ewbank to arrange God to give him some elbow room, or else.

God would not want to receive a forced hookup letter to Maxwell's sewers, now would he?
