She’s my mother and I’m most certain that with a 99%ish survival rate. We will all be doing great this time next year. Ashley running and winning is the best possible scenario for the City of Granby. It’s literally the definition of politics. Who has the best move and can stay within the statutes of the state. You see, I and many many others in this beautiful country aren’t as stupid as you might want to believe. Serving your city is most definitely a servants job. You don’t get kickback as you would like believe. The City of Granby will survive the “pandemic”, however, it wouldn’t survive a person such as yourself. Hence the politics.
The Missouri Revised Statutes are violated all the time, especially given the conduct of city meetings otherwise known as the Missouri Sunshine Act. Pretty much politics as it is is coming to an end as the politicians have destroyed the economy in an effort to “save” the very old and sick at the end of their last year of life. If you had ever driven a truck or a combine you would know as much, but you don’t. Things are not going to end up fine.
You know or care nothing about the City of Granby. Neither does your mother. She was caught wishing a miscarriage on one of the native’s wives — someone whose fathers tried to run as a Granby Reform candidate back in 2017. She hasn’t gotten back with me about setting our differences aside — and she won’t. She is going to “win” a seat on a dying town city council in a town on its last legs.
The T-Rampage model of city infrastucture was to allow Jim Channel to do nothing insofar as fixing the infrastructure — especially the water and sewer infrastructure. For five years T-Rampage and the rest of the Granby City Council would yammer about purchasing a new water system for mumble, mumble, mumble $10-15 million. When asked what fixing the water pipes would cost last year there was no answer. There could be no answer. There were not any timesheets or work orders detailing exactly how many man and machine hours went to fixing a particular leak. According to Granby lore there were over a dozen patches on one 10 ft section of rotting pipe to where there was more patch than pipe. But under the T-Rampage model of civic corruption the goal is to do as little as possible so that a “new” massive water or sewer project is needed to be as expensive as possible so that upon a “no-bid” contract approved by “Resolution” — which requires no prior public notice or debate like the March 10, 2020 resolution to pay off the Styrons for their eyesore before the contracted payoff date of 2032 — there can be kickbacks to those who passed the “Resolution.” Two daze later a state of emergency was declared and the funds from the extortionate gas meter fees was spent to be paid back from the police tax in 2042.
So the T-Rampage model of civic corruption is to let the infrastructure decay to the point of collapse, then get the suckers to vote in a municipal bond issue. Which they do. Supposedly the sewer indebtedness is quadrupled by $3.2 million and it would take 35 years to pay off.
For years I warned about spending every single penny and not fixing the pipes. What would happen if the bubble burst? Well now we don’t have a mere recession, We don’t even have a depression. We have a Great Collapse.
The municipal bond market is finished. The rates are down to zero percent, or even negative. The running decifit was $1 trillion. Now they have printed $6 trillion in three months. Can you say hyper-inflation?
Now I’m advocating firing Jim Channel and Lawna Price. Jim Channel had over five years to fix the pipes, but didn’t. My proposal is to know how much it costs to fix our infrastructure and to go ahead and do so. Hire two City workers in Channel’s place and set them to work.
But your mother and the current City Council refuses to do so. They intend to accept Ashley Edgemon’s resignation and to appoint an accomodating weak crook to take his place, ignoring that even though Ashley refuses to stick around and enjoy the mess he has created with the City (and Cemetery) departments that corrupt business as usual can continue. Even though the bond market is gone and that they have no plan to fix the infrastucture or make Jim Channel (or Lawna Price) work then eventually the water pressure will drop for days at a time due to leaks and the sewage will be backed up, half the City population can’t pay its bills or taxes, and there might well be a real public health crisis.
Your mother wants to make a whole bunch of idiotic municipal ordinances as enforced as she sees fit. Your mother wants to make Granby into whatever craphole from whence she fled. Your mother is one of the last people who should have power, not knowing anything good in how to exercise it.
The best thing to do is to simply let me have the City Council seat I’ll win by default. But that isn’t going to happen because I’ll be working to jail those who brought Granby to ruin. There will be litigation while disaster proceeds apace.
But this is happening all across the ZOGland. Soon, very soon, we shall see a Great Collapse such as the Fall of the Old Empire of Egypt from 2200-2000 BCm, the Bronze Age Collapse circa 1200 BC or the Dark Ages circa 476-1492 A.D. What I myself am working towards is the Ten Thousand Warlords Project in which the population of ZOG/Babylon is reduced to 10-20 million ruled by theocratic military dictatorships. But that is neither here nor there.
