Lazy Cakes or Lazy Politicians?

Well, the City Council figured out that talking about "Lazy Cakes" while the city goes belly up is not the brightest move. Could it be they are beginning to get it? Or is it an election year ploy aimed at just making us think they get it?

I'm going for door number two, how about you? During the last year and a half we have seen massive pay raises given to a select few without much comment from the council. I don't think there is a city ordinance against speaking out when tax payer money is being shoveled into the bottomless pit of political patronage. Maybe I'm crazy, I thought they (city council) were elected to represent us. Where were they when these plums were handed out?

Why didn't the council rise up in outrage when a lawyer was given $20,000.00 for putting in one day a week. THAT'S RIGHT, TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, for one day a week! Why didn't they go ballistic with law department raises, school lawyer raise, superintendent of schools raise, school principal raises, and all raises given during a time when our tax base is shrinking, and our state aid is being cut??????

I don't care if it couldn't stop these insane actions by this clueless mayor ! At least call him out ! You have the bully pulpit, use it! Tell Willy Wonka that the money factory is ready to drift off on the sea of receivership! Call him out when he does it, and every time he does it! Don't wait for "Budget" time, or election time, to tell the tax payers you are supposed to represent that their hard earned money is being handed out like monopoly money!

It's now or never, it's time to REPRESENT!!!!! VOTE THIS BUDGET DOWN! NO RAISES OR NO BUDGET! You do that that, then we the taxpayers will send Willy and his merry band of carpetbaggers back to Taunton!

If you don't learn from your mistakes you are doomed to repeat them! We made a blunder of epic proportion when we elected this "fresh face." Another term with WILL, will put Fall River in receivership, and destroy what little we have left of our city. Give Willy and anyone who votes for this budget as it stands now the boot!!! Another ONE and DONE!!!!
