Sounds A Lot Like Local Government!



You can fill in the blanks with the names of your favorite elected officials, city staff, or special-interest shill:

__________, you keep feeding me old information.

__________, I need you to keep not living up to your resume.

__________, you're in charge of waffling. ("Are you sure?")

__________, you'll talk a big game then do nothing. ("Let's do it.")

__________, can you fold under pressure for me? ("Like a lawn chair.")

And __________, you just keep thinking everyone is out to get you. ("They are.")

City Mgr Schuenke, you keep feeding me old information.

Ald Ryan, I need you to keep not living up to your resume.

Ald DiPetro, you're in charge of waffling. ("Are you sure?")

Ald Bach, you'll talk a big game then do nothing. ("Let's do it.")

Ald Carey, can you fold under pressure for me? ("Like a lawn chair.")

And Mayor Frimark, you just keep thinking everyone is out to get you. ("They are.")

Funny, and laughing beats crying every time. But it sure is accurate, as previous comments indicate. This is another bit that Ald. DiPietro can brand as "negative, nothing constructive" - and on which he can be expected not to waffle.

Can somebody clue him in to the fact that criticizing government screw-ups, waste and stupidity isn't negativity but is instead the first constructive step - RECOGNITION of the problem - in moving toward a solution?

Must agree completely with Dave Kovic. Public officials are supposed to do the right thing, and it shouldn't be news when they do.

Conversely, it's important to point out the things that are wrong, whenever possible. Doesn't hurt to offer a suggestion for improvement from time to time, also.

Today's suggestion: More of the same from PRU.

Is this really the good gov't that we are suppose to have - in place?
serving our citizens?....I don't think so.

Climb onto your horse Mr. Mayor and don't forget your six guns!! Ride out to the sound of the guns!!
