Dear Editor:
The next “Dancing in the Stars” winner will be Jimmy “Slo-Mo” Gee and his partner Ms. TMACLOG doing the slow waltz. Speeding up the tape–would still not allow you to see any movement.
They talk about the dance, discuss the thousands they pay in consultants to teach them the slow waltz but will not demonstrate any of their patented moves (having none).
They will continue to ignore the TARPS audience, be a school bus, be a private business busing service for a certain company, ignore their mission while they twirl you into their next “replacement” levy in 2009. They have delayed their performance until August of 2008 allowing them to roll into 2009 and another 10- year no new tax–new tax levy for one more mill (similar to their last 36 percent no new tax–tax increase).
Slo-Mo Gee wasted another year. They will gather their phone votes from their suppliers, threaten their employees for another (questionable) levy payroll deduction plan for well over 90 percent of their campaign money for marketing but no significant changes to their dance routine.
They need only fool Toledo as Toledo can carry the vote and has the biggest reason to vote no due to lack of service. They laugh at the six of nine sub-divisions voting no who did not like their slow dance routine. They are happy sub-division votes don’t count. When is enough –enough, and when will the minion leaders realize they are being waltzed into more taxation. The only reason they are doing anything is pressure from Randy Gardner.
TARTA is still living in the 1970s and has no clue, original thought, or solution as they are now painting the bus windows so you can’t even see the only person on the bus–the driver. They win, public transportation loses again.
