What’s Wrong With This Picture?

28Apr08

It’s amazing how you can get so much use out of the same list of names. If you look at http://www.stratfordfestivaltheater.org/952.html and http://www.festivalenterprises.com/support.html these people are sure busy founding things.
Now why Louie is claiming that he is developing SAEP/Point Stratford when, according to the GSA, Hollywood East/Area 51 has won the bidding is a [...]

Can you hear us now?

25Apr08

The problem with Public hearings is determining if anyone is listening. So far, all we can see is that there is an elected stand-in for the mayor and he can’t veto resolutions. There is simply no sense of whether this commission will tackle the major problems in this Charter or simply leave the spoils system [...]

Let’s Get Ready to RUMBLE! (Budget Battles)

Round 1 goes to the Moms with a right to the pocketbook with a nasty “it’s for the children!” . The Seniors were on the ropes at the [...]

The Morning Line

21Apr08

Whenever I see a great idea, I try to steal it as quickly as possible. Thank you, Sudds (by the way, nice watch.)
I am posting this survey as a public service. As with most surveys, it only works if you go there and answer the question.
I thought maybe we could save ourselves a lot of [...]

No Child Left With A Dime

21Apr08

It’s that time again! Time to play Seniors versus Schoolkids!
I hope someone remembers to ask Mayor Moron why he needs close to $500,000 to run his office. Oh…and there’s that $1 MILLION for Rich Buturla.
Parvulus pessum, Mayor Moron?

Candidates Forum

18Apr08

I am putting this here in hopes of providing an interactive forum for candidates, almost candidates, and what-me-run candidates. This site has received close to 4,000 views this week alone. It is doubtful any candidate can say that about his/her own site. This time around, it is of utmost importance that the voters have [...]

Bad News for Sudds.

17Apr08

Apparently, Sudds did not hold enough golf tournaments at Short Beach last year. After only generating $363,000 in revenue, Short Beach Golf Course is seeking an $0.75 increase in green fees.
“We have had to increase the price of the coffee to $1. In addition, we have requested a rate increase for all greens fees [...]

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished in Stratford!

16Apr08

You always like to see someone who was arrested for interfering with a police officer complain about trying to keep unqualified candidates off the Police force. I wonder what Miron will do now for Ms. Brooks and Mr. O’Neal? Another plywood “Honor Roll”? Maybe this time with pictures?
While the legalities remain unsettled, there is simply [...]

Show Me The Money!

16Apr08

Did you ever wonder why Charlie Brown kept trying to kick the football Lucy held for him? Louie Burke is holding the football for us one more time. Will we try to kick it again? Of course we will!
