Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. It also might send you scurrying out to the wastelands of Nevada with enough rations and firepower to live the remainder of your life without seeing another human being, especially one that has any ?“official capacity?”. Face it Picktowners, you government is run by a group of low life thugs and bagmen who would willingly sell their own family and wives into white slavery if requested by a developer. Right now the city attorney is no doubt holed up with developer attorneys and Madame Zima conducting a s?©ance to speak to the ghosts of Mussolini, Hitler to determine just how you need to go about avoiding these nasty disturbances called elections.

Listen carefully. YOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICALS ARE SWINE. These people have fed so long on your money that they are now running amok. You cannot reason with these people. The best course of action would be to hit them with a Taser, hogtie them and ship them in unmarked crates to Saddam Hussein. Keeping ?“lines of communication?” open with these people only lends them credibility. They may show up at ?“roundtables?” and mouth concern, but go back over their actual record. They are not interested in any conversation that doesn?’t involve unmarked bills, free motorcycles or secret land deals. They view anyone who wants to talk about such mundane issues as what is in the best interest of the community as ?“outside agitators?” who not only shouldn?’t be allowed to speak, but should be damn happy that they haven?’t been arrested by the police for ?“theft of public property?” for wasting the time of public officials during the public comment portion of city council.

What can you do? First, show up to every meeting. Large numbers of you will not change their votes, but it does make them nervous and more apt to say stupid things, which the mayor and Lou Postage have elevated to an art form. Second, it lets the press know that people are unhappy and that there are problem in paradise. Once interested, the press will hopefully investigate. Third, it signals to other government, particularly the county, that they should think twice before climbing into bed with the devil.

Second, write everyone you can think of about this situation. Start with the newspapers and then go to the governor, the secretary of state, the auditor and the county prosecutor demanding an investigation of Pickerington politics. Interesting issues may be raised, such as how a former public official can afford a million dollar shopping center and how this person still roams the halls of 100 Lockville Road and is ?“involved?” in decision-making. The list is endless. One letter signed by hundredS of people would be best.

The point is: DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN COMPLAIN.

You've Got Some Good Ideas Raoul

Raoul, It was nice reading your discussion and I've heard the same thing several other times. Something very definately has to be done to bring government back to the people. In addition to gathering larger groups of people for the city council meetings, meetings that can deny your voice to be heard, gather protestors with signs. Your are protected under the Constitutions, after obtaining a permit, to gather and carry signs explaining your complaints. Once you have organized even a few people, contact the Dispatch and the local television studios for news coverage. That will be the first step in making your views heard. There are several other steps to make but I won't go into them here. What I would do if I am elected county commissioner is to be more strict in annexation hearings, promote more industry to ease taxes, and try to initiate reform in the way developers get a free ride with out finishing their developments with schools to handle the additional children that their developments bring to town. I also have a plan for a county wide scholarship program that is not tax based, a system where I have already started a new scholarship and I'll discuss that later on. Remember, you are exercising your first amendment constitutional right, use it wisely and carefully as to not violate anothers same right. Take care and remember me on November 5,02.
