WORDS FROM A DISCOURAGED PATRIOT

WORDS FROM A DISCOURAGED PATRIOT 

as told to David DeMulle', Editor of The Foothills Paper

……..Cindy and Mark will have competed their campaign to get rid of 
all independent thinkers not under their control. Everyone knows 
this is the power grab game finally being played out right before 
everyone's eyes.

Dan McManus knew it, and kept them both in check. He always looked 
my way and made sure I was heard, even though Mark always made sure 
my mike was off. (It was a running joke. You may not have 
noticed. They kept you out of things.)

Everyone who sat near me on the Board was always astonished to find 
their mikes never worked. It is why I always made sure I had the 
wireless one. Think back on it. Nothing that happening in there was 
an accident. All my bills and money requests strangely never made it 
to the agenda. You know nothing of the games they played for 
years. Why do you think so many brilliant people left in disgust? 
Were is Elaine Brown? Steve Crouch? They used to fight them all the 
time! They wore them out, as they are me.

Cindy and Mark have finally created a bland white bread board in an 
image and likeness of themselves.

The city knows. I have already heard even this week from a current 
city employee, that the STNC is now a former shadow of itself, and 
soon will be a total joke. Now the city will no longer have to worry 
about the famous STNC.

It is becoming a nice shiny quiet polite empty shell -- one saying 
just the right things to keep just the right few in power.

It will finance fireworks and parades and do nothing else of 
substance that will rock their political boat.

Just what certain local petty powers want.

Cindy once said to me: "The purpose of the STNC is to serve the City 
Council member, and not the public!" She actually said this when I 
had an idea for helping the homeless before it got too big a 
problem. We argued furiously. She never spoke to me again -- except 
for curt nods.
