Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Crooks and Clowns

Posted in: PATA
I must say that I was struck by MU's recent remark on this website that all public officials who disagree with him are either crooks or clowns. Apparently, there is no choice. In his world, if you disagree with him, but he likes you, you are a clown. If he does not like you, you are corrupt.

I suppose I should be flattered that he considers me a clown. But I imagine that, with the passage of time, the polarities will reverse, and he will plop me into the other category. I think that I probably have fluctuated from one category to the other several times in recent years. I suspect it all follows some kind of lunar cycle.

I have no idea how he classifies the people with whom he agrees. But then he changes his positions so often, and flipflops from one side to the other so frequently, that it would be almost impossible to keep up with him, even if one wanted to.

And how does he classify the mysterious men in black, the masked marauders who, in MU's mind, have laid waste to Pickerington during every bond levy for the past ten years from the back of an old pick-up truck, posting profane vote no signs on bits of carpenter's molding? Are they crooks or clowns? Or does MU, somehow, agree with them?

What an outlook? I guess it brings home again what I have said before. This is not the way that a sane adult handles disagreement. So I guess we should watch this spectacle with a note of sadness and, if he would ever let us, sympathy.
Pathetic Rigelman!



Bruce,

How pathetic! As an elected official, you are facing a $6 million deficit, participated in 7 illegal meetings, and just heard from hundreds of parents about your asinine decision on the kindergarten structure. All you want to discuss is whether or not I consider you a clown or a crook, and pick up trucks from the 1997 elections.

Well, Bruce, my advice to you is simple. Focus on the issues and not people.

Get your website working. Involve experts in the board decisions. Stop the threats to get voters to vote for levies. Address the bloated busing costs. Stop running empty buses. Save the $3.3 million of our tax money as suggested by the Auditors last October.

My advice -- GET TO WORK... establish a checklist of each recommendation of the Auditor to save the $3.3 million of our tax dollars and update which recommendations you have accomplished.

As Lisa Ross suggested, control your anger and ignore the manner in which I deliver the message. GET TO WORK saving our tax dollars.

Bruce,

I am sorry, but I did not hear a motion last night to provide financial data and board minutes on the PLSD website. Did you make one?
