You Can't Change this town if You Don't Change the People Running it!

Well, not much of a fan of Edison's all Dem-party rule or the Silly Season that goes along with it here in the DemBadLands of Downtown Edison - but it's the only time you get our local elected officials out pandering for your vote - the rest of the year, you're not important. 

So, you can appreciate with this being time for the EDO to have their screening for the four Council spots up this year - you can expect a lot of rhetoric and hyperbole to be flying around town. 

In fact, the screening is on March 14th at 7:00PM over at the Pines. 

While I automatically feed all their glossy and expensive campaign literature right into the garbage can, it's particularly disconcerting when incumbents resort to robo-calls.

Here's the text of an amusing robo-call for Joe Coyle:

'Hello, I'm calling on behalf of your councilman Joe Coyle to give you a phone number where you can reach Joe if you have any questions about Edison, any problems Joe Coyle will try to help you. Phone number is 732-809-4827 and a Happy Valentine's Day. Bye..Bye.'

It's amusing since he's one of the incumbents up for reelection this year and will be screening on March 14th and obviously didn't screen his robe-call list. Why would he robo-call me? I did ask him to help with moving the school board election back to April and didn't get much help there. Guess that's why he says 'will try to help you' in his robo-call.

Seriously now, in a town where;

..the Council is nothing more than processing clerks for Lankey's doings

..checks and balances are a myth

..every Muni budget under Lankey was passed by the Council without a single penny change to his yearly tax increase,

..they still leave the Stench of the 2017 election hanging over the town 

..they Cluck..Clucked away from giving the People of this town a chance to hear arguments for moving the School Board elections back to April by cancelling their meeting the day before it was scheduled

..transparency is just a word they use 

..conflicts of interest are only important if you catch them

..and how could you ever trust these people to enter into such a humongous $811 million contract for Water and Sewer with their single-minded Dem-party mentality?

You Can't and You Shouldn't Trust any of them!

You know what I see when I look around this town - it's all about twisted and dysfunctional Politics, Not People. They'll only pay attention to you when it's election time and they want your vote.

And here's what I see when I look at these four incumbents up for reelection - the rest of the year: 

Anyhoo, Joe Coyle is the one on the right with phone in hand. He's waiting for your call. Better hurry and call him at 732-809-4827 'if you have any questions about Edison, any problems'  - the screening is only a couple days away!
