Christmas in Edison 2018 - Jingle Bells..Jingle Bells!

Christmas in Downtown Edison – 2018

Twas’ a month before Christmas and those sly little elves,

 Edison’s Mayor Lankey & EBoE Prez Shi labored to benefit themselves.

Again teamed up to infuse politics into the education process,

despite Last Year’s Election Stench that left the town in quite a national mess.

One rules with No Checks and Balances while taxing away,

and the other tried to stack the board with his Single-minded way.

Not remotely caring a tad bit what the people might think,

they again place Politics before People in spite of the noxious stink.

One has a Council that let Sneak in a Forever Tax for Open Space,

and the other doesn’t see that blocking public scrutiny is a self-serving disgrace.

If Mayor Tom ‘Now 17.1%’ ChoiLankey is so quick to jump on Shi’s bandwagon,

then why is it the long-overdue Overcrowding issue is still so sadly a-laggin’?   

And putting their thumbs to the tip of his noses while laughing at You and Me,

Lankey and the Dem-Party leave a Hanging Stench over the town for all to see.

And Shi with his mind-bogglingly inept attempt at the authoritarian way,

doesn’t get that the People won’t accept it with millions of our tax dollars in play .

They’re not concerned about disrespecting the public per se,

dubious transparency, misinformation and misdirection is their ruling way.

Lankey knew it was the only way he could hang around and stay,

and Shi with Dem-party help was assured a chance to have his misguided way.

So while we all scratch our heads and say What the Hey!,

Lankey keeps doing it to you again and Shi is left blindly leading the way.

And then there’s tax-um up ‘Deputy-dog’ Charlie ‘I Abstain’ Tomaro again,

with the 23.5% County tax hike over the last 5 years you sure wanna befriend.

In this season of giving, Lankey & Shi are again playing to take,

Lankey continuing without any Checks & Balances remains a big mistake.

And Shi with a feeble but obvious attempt to hold on to a plurality,

needs to be Voted Out as Board President with the Board finally accepting reality.

If in this feeling I’m not alone,

then take up your pen or pick up the phone.

Let Lankey & Shi know that it's People Not Politics,

and make the Edison Board of Education election to April fix.

With a lot yet to be accomplished by those wearing the all Dem-party hats,

continue to believe in and fight for Democracy – just not the Local Democrats.

And I heard him exclaim with all their maneuvering in hand,

Merry Christmas to Edison, and let all the People be scammed!?!
