John, a run for council should be in your future. We need your unwavering integrity and guts to wretch this island back from the syndicate.

p.s. Take Mario with you when you go down to city hall to register.

Blogsmog,

You are "right on" in your assessment of city councilors. As you said some of their own finances are perfectly screwed up, may not be paying city taxes from their own money and they are controlling the taxes that we have to pay. Why would someone in their right mind want to put that person back in office and for what rational reason?

The problem on this island and what has made it easy for Arceri's cronies to get away with this has been the fact that many of our voters are part timers and with many seniors, involved in their own health issues due to age and do not find the time or have the energy to put forth the effort that is needed. Many are here to comfortably spend thier retirement years and may not want to get "involved'.

City Hall's method was wear out those seniors, they feel that these people will give up in time and when it came to the STRP that is exactly what happened.

Now we have another Condo dweller vs. Home owner issue. You can be as sure as the sun comes up every day that City Hall will use the divide and conquer method of management and once again do what they have to in order to get their agenda thru.

Maybe this year's elections will make a difference, I surely hope so.
