Sorry for the HUGE delay in posting. I have to take a break from writing on a regular basis for a couple of weeks...I'm in the middle of writing my senior thesis.
Here's some tidbits:
1. Tonight, the public will have the opportunity to speak their mind about Mayor Boughton's outlandish budget proposal. I say outlandish because what this mayor is doing to the education system in giving them a laughable .7 PERCENT increase is a disgrace. I'll talk more about this and why speaking to the council is a colossal waste of time, at a later date.
2. It's rumored that our grossly incompetent City Clerk Jean Natale screwed up again...and if the rumor is true, her latest mistake will cost taxpayers $$$$$. At this point, someone should really consider filing an ethics complaint against this moron.
3. Oh oh!!!! It seems like the rumormill in Bethel is all abuzz regarding our laughable assclown John McGowan. It's rumored that the U.S. Marshals are looking for the anti-immigrant extremist. I'll update everyone on any developments as well as the latest on McGowan's rape trial later.
4. Here's a copy of Boughton's latest campaign finance statement.
Basically, Mark had a kick off campaign fundraiser and was able to shake 11K from the money tree.
Besides the usual suspects, most notable out of the 11K...
- Fedele threw Mark 1,000.
- Linda McMahon threw Mark 200.00
- The Jowdys and Yamins are masters of the art of spreading your money to a candidate. Both families bought various ad buys as well as donating directly to Boughton.
- Robert Botelho threw Mark 280.00
- ...and of course, it's nice that Mr. Unaffilated, turned Democrat, turned "it's all about me", turned Republican Warren Levy contribution is the first one on the list (80.00)...and his ad buy was mighty generous (150.00). I guess since he kissed the ring, we can expect him running on place of Robert Riley for city council at large.
I can't wait to finish writing my thesis so I can get this site back to full speed.
