Wednesday, October 4

From the inane desk of the sweaty pickle...

"She has been unable to do anything, if she were to have been able to removed the chief and the lawyer I think you would see some very positive changes, and if she would have been able to appoint a ward 3 person, then the city could move forward, she has a lot of good ideas that she has not been able to implement...."

My first question is what has she been held back from doing by not being able to appoint Chet Pleban and Ben Branch? What does the appointment of either of these wastes of oxygen have to do with moving forward with a legislative agenda?
Or is it that Ben Branch would have kept the queens opponents in line with his unique brand of jack booted thuggery that Branch was investigated by the FBI for?
Would Pleban have given better legal advice to the city then he has been giving the queen? I don't have a lot of confidence in his legal opinions since the queen, following his and Steve Redman, I mean Doug Rudman's advice has now lost 6 lawsuits.

And where are all these great ideas? In this day and age of instant information and electronic connectivity, IF the mayor had all of these great ideas then why hasn't she put them out in the public forum? It's not like she's still campaigning and needs to keep them hidden so that her competition can't steal them and claim them as their own. (Even though I don't see MB Conlon announcing she is going to turn over executive power of Overland to Skidmark Brown and Charles "Karam it up your A$$". That's a uniquely purzerian thought.)
All I have seen from Purzner is petty vindictiveness, a willingness to trample all over the laws of the state and city, pandering and a complete lack of original thoughts.

On the other website we challenged the ORT supporters to put forth the ORTs ideas and to let us know where the ORT wants to take the city. They have yet to answer. Is it because they don't have an answer or is it they don't want the citizenry to know where they want to take the city?

The Goat Winer wants "FREE TRASH", yet the Goat Wines (see below) about not enough money to pay employees. Then how the hell can the city afford "FREE TRASH"...duh and double DUH !!!!!


The Fine Goat Winer says:
"The budget, I don't know much about figures, but if you have to cut salaries then do so. i don't know if the people are over paid or not for what they do, but if the money is not coming in like it use to then why try to pay wages you can't afford." End of Goat Wine quote or would that be Courtney Wine Quote? All the same crap-o-la

These ORT supporters are so easily hoofed by Mayor Purzner "The Con RN".

FINE WINER is just another lying ORT supporter. LOL @ the 40%, where do these loons get these goofy percentages from? May I suggest you go and cut some lawns, rake some leaves or pan handle to pay your trashy bill FINE WINER? Or go make yourself a sign that says " WILL WORK TO PAY MY TRASH BILL" and stand on a corner of your choice? EEEEEE Gaaaaaaaaads, these people are a trip!!!!

Owensby was seen yesterday in ward 4 by Mort Jacobs Park with a clip board going only to certain houses on the block.

Does anyone know why he was in ward 4 and what he is doing?

Maybe he was conducting a Hairless Poll..... whoops, I meant Harris Poll.

What are the mayor's ideas? I think we questioned this before and after the election process.

If you remember, DumbPickles said that The Queen kept all of her good ideas secret so that her political opponents wouldn't steal them.

Nothing says "my self-interests are more important than municipal progress" than a statement such as that.

Owenswig was doing his usual piggy eyed gopher rounds. Or perhaps he is making a list of minute infractions to submit to public works to issue citations, to make it look like the Councilmen for ward 4 are doing it. Hard to make any sense of what the ORT does.

Fine Wine,

Call Allied Waste yourself, provided you are an Overland Resident. The mayor clearly stated in HER website that the cost of trash service is going up OVER 10% this Jan. NOT my words hers. To verify this I called Allied, was given what I would be paying come Jan. and it is nowhere near 10%. DUE THE MATH YOURSELF, WITH YOUR FINGNERS OR A CALCULATOR IF YOU MUST. The mayor is not telling the truth plain and simple.

nothing was on channel 4 news of any concern to Overland.
What gives?

Gee, It seems that Channel 4 was too busy reporting on all the corrupt politicians in Washington to report on the corrupt politicians in Overland. Be patient, we will get our turn soon.

Why do you have a problem with checking out the facts?

I do not hate the mayor, I dislike people that lie, she just happens to be the mayor, for now.

There is absolutely nothing her, Sleepy, Dopey or Grumpy says that I am not going to check on for it's validity. And so far their record is what about 0 for the truth, lie count still running full steam ahead.

FINE WINO keeps pushing the goofy thought that because the Mayor is a woman, the meetings are out of control etc etc. Why can't these ORT supporters lay blame where blame is due. They always look for scapegoats for the wrong doing of an individual. It is not just men-folk who oppose the illegal and stupid actions of Purzner, it is the women-folk too, that oppose Purzner the lying RN. Does FINE WINO think that if a man pulled illegal stunts like Purzner did, the judge would rule differently? Not a chance. Put down your bottle of Boons Farm, FINE WINO!
When is Purzner “the lying con RN” going to take accountability and responsibility for her foolish actions?

Fine Wine,

You have not answered yet as to why you have a problem with checking out the facts.

And I am going to assume that when you & all of the mayors supporters get your 1st Allied Waste bill in 07, you are planning on calling and the telling them it didn't go up enough & you'd like to be charged more to reflect the mayors figures.

Then I'm going to call Allied & ask how many Overland residents called asking to be charged more. Got any ideas on how many will call, I'm guessing 0.

FINE WINO claims to be a good ole country boyeee, LOL. Goats usually reside in the country. So, that is one accurate thing WINO Goat said...."country". It cracks me up how Goat, BLUE EYE BALL, and WINO talk to themselves; can we say SYBIL? I knew you could.

The dumb bunny ORT supporters on overlandchat are always good for a laugh. At least they provide some kind of public service, comic relief!
WINO GOAT.....again....put down that BOONS FARM RIPPLE WINES.

I agree Sr. Whitefolks.....Sourasspickles does suck!!! Oh but wait Sr. Whitefolks, Donna Dill-dough is the Savior of Overland...lest we forget. (rolls eyes violently @ savior....sigh)

40 acres and a Mule? Or is that Wild Acres and a goat? Will they toss in Sourasspickles as a free farm hand to clean out the bed pans and milk the goats? After all there are 4 goats now, Music Goat, Wino Goat, Blue Eye Ball Goat and Snow Ball goat.
Call Purzner Con Realty for further details.

twolayer,
What did News 4 have to say about Overland?

New Girl,

Basically she has rec'd a letter, she isn't going out looking for this, she doesn't want to sell, but may have to. Channel 4 tried getting ahold of the realtor & company I think they said from Jeff. City, have gotten no response from either. They were offering I think $850 thousand.

They also interviewed Schneider, he said something to the effect that the mayor is telling them nothing about any of this. They also interviewed another ladey I think it was Pat Westoff.

They finally corrected "PUBIC" TO "PUBLIC" on the annpurzner.CON website. Too little too late.

They also corrected the 10+% increase to 4+%.......ooops, can we say BUSTED? They tried to back peddle on the dot CON website...too funny.

To the person, persons whoever writes the mayors website updates,

You at least got your numbers closer this time regarding rising cost in trash, but it's in all how you word it isn't it and 20.7+% doesn't sound so good which is what you want. Well let's deal in numbers instead. I'm going to use my own bills.

5yr contract with Allied starting in 2004.

2004 - city paid
2005 - residents pd $14.88 mthly
2006 - " " 16.38 "
2007 - " " 17.50 "
2008 - " " 18.38 (5%)

So that means over a 4 yr period my bill mthly bill HAS only risen $3.50 or qrtrly $10.50. Still retaining 1 trash pick-up a week, recycle, yardwaste, FREE appliance pick-up & as many bulk items (couch, chair & box springs,etc.)

Which considering what we get that's not TOO bad.

Since the mayor has only asked for $600 thousand & refuses to say what services that includes, I'm assuming it's ONLY trash, the residents will pick-up the tab for everything else.

Which brings me to Berkeley because Knode likes to compare us with them. Berkerley residents pay.

$4.16 yardwaste (if they want)
$9.75 per month trash
$15.75 per bulk item
$21.00 per applicance
They are not even offered recycle

St. Ann residents pay $5 per mth for recycle.

And you forgot to tell the residents of Overland that St. Louis County is working on a bill that by 2010 which is just 3 1/2 yrs away that recycling will be mandatory.

So let's start figuring here,

1 yr of recycle $60
1 yr of yardwast $49.92
1 yr of trash $117
1 chair $15.75
1 couch $15.75
1 mattress $15.75
1 box spring $15.75
1 icebox $21
1 washer $21
1 dryer $21
1 hot water heater $21
1 freezer $21

Let's see that brings us to $373.92 for 1 year.

Sorry but no thanks I think I'd rather keep what I got even with the 20.7+ % increase over a 4 yr period.

Sorry, forgot to add that our mayor would like the council to pass a budget she's happy with, when she doesn't even know what she pays in taxes on her own home.

A couple of meetings ago some woman asked her a question, she responded by saying her home is around $138,000 & if the lady would look at how the taxes are divied up she'd know what she was talking about.

Well, I went to St. Louis Cty dept of Revenue, the mayors house is assesed and taxed on $103,000 NOT $138,000.

Which brings us to the seminary & why would she even think of entertaining an offer of $850,000 when please correct me if I'm wrong, I heard when it was last appraised a few years ago it was going for 4 million.

Fine Wine,

Why haven't you answered yet why you do not like the facts.

Apparently, the person that writes the mayors website had a change of mind when presented with the facts and it looks like you'll be pay 6+% LESS for your upcoming trash bill.

A simply thanks will do.

This is precious, the mayors feathers have been ruffled.

Yesterday she sent word to the community center that they are not to rent out any of the cities facilities to anyone who wants to hold a fund raiser.

Not only does she want to sell the seminary now she wants to keep it from making any money.

Does anyone know, can she do that, legally I mean. To restrict a certain group from renting the cities property.

The mayor has scheduled a workshop meeting for 10/16 to work on the general budget - the first work on it since July.
Is the mayor starting to act like a deer with 2 headlights coming at her, and hoping that they are on two motorcycles that will pass her by on each side? The six months in office are about up. Will she be surprised when the lights turn out to be an eighteen wheeler with recall petitions?

Recently there have some who have visited: www.overlandexaminer.org apparently for no reason other than to post their propaganda.

As it stands now, I have decided that any posts by visitors that do nothing but repeat the same content as a previous post will simply be deleted.

I do not want to eliminate the anonymous log-in because I cannot eliminate that and still keep the ability for people to post under a name without a Blogger ID (at this time).

If this becomes too tiresome I will eliminate comments on my blog all together and instead setup a forum site where discussion topics will be started to go along with each post. This way I can have an open door for everyone, while still being able to close that door on those who are rude, childish, etc.

Others with local blogs and sites who would be interested in having their own topics hosted at such a site should feel free to contact me about it at:

Corrections on the mayor's propaganda site might (or might not) be as a result of postings herein reaching somebody who made the changes.

That's good.

This site has seen a lot of barbs, slings and arrows directed at others practicing their freedom to make mistakes and asses of themselves while masquerading as thoughtful persons.
Ooooops. My bad.

That's not so good.

While these message boards are a great means through which to practice citizenship via constructive criticism of the status quo, let's ask ourselves, who elected idiots into power? The best reply held something to the effect that "Lousy leaders are elected by smart folks who did not vote."

That, folks... is BAAAADDDDD.
