Tonight's city meeting

Just a note before I forget it. Pay attention to the crowd shots they use on channel 5. My favorite shot of the crowd shows Courtney Cerolo (I may have the name wrong but she was the Purzner supporter interviewed on channel 2) sitting in the middle aisle of the county council chambers eating potato chips. Lays sour cream and onion if I remember the bag correctly. At a meeting where mayor Purzner had memos passed out to everyone attending listing the rules of decorum and what would be allowed by the audience I guess mayor purzner forgot to include no eating in the council chambers.

But aside from that it is now confirmed that Chief Herron did not get a paycheck this past Friday and if the judge rules that mayor Purzner acted wrongly in suspending him he will be seeking legal remedies.

Also it has been confirmed that mayor purzner threatened to fire any city employee who carried a chair into the gymnasium at the community center.

Purzner also got the can you really be that dumb award for her great quote to the news media that she just can't understand why so many people want to attend city council meetings.

Finally Ken Owenswig had the nerve and unmitigated gall to state that the city council members who did not show tonight were playing dirty politics. Hello!!! This coming from the man who lead the charge of the ORT out of the chambers two meetings ago and who was not present at the last city council meeting. Ken that bad rug is cutting off the oxygen to your brain, get it checked out you're making irrational statements.

Just further proof on how this has deterioriated. I am glad for myself there was no meeting since I was locked out. However, I am not glad for Overland.

I am in utter disbelief that Owenswig would make such a foolish comment in regard to the opposing side not showing up last night. Does this man think that people have forgotten that he himself and the Mayor have pulled the same stunt? Does this excuse the other side for not showing up last night? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I am very disappointed that they stooped to the same low as the Mayor.

I was able to get into the meeting last night. I did see a woman sitting in the isle stuffing her grill piece with potato chips. Maybe she thought this was a sit-in.

Last night, Ken Owensby removed his chin-strap while taking a rest-room break allowing the wolverine on his head to take a few moments and sit down for a few questions.

To summarize, the wig stated that it had no control over Ken's eradic behavior and apologized for his bad-faith efforts on the City Council. The hairpiece went on to say that it had offered its resignation to Ken several times but Ken would not accept the document.

The wig, showing its age, seemed disenchanted, "I look terrible these days. Back in the 70s, I was all the rage. I still looked good when Ken picked me up at that rummage sale. But, when I see the two of us in the mirror today, I think Ken must be playing some kind of sick joke on the world."

A sick joke indeed, this has been
