A Major Victory For The Write-In Candidate

The powers at the Pinehurst Elementary School forum tonight refused to accept Charles Jannace as a legitimate candidate because he didn't have a party backing him. Charles refused to accept that, pulled up a chair, and had a seat at the table. He stated that he had a letter of invitation, but they denied ever sending such email. To resolve the issue they turned to the other two candidates to see how they felt. Rick Pollitt said "Although I am a guest here I do believe Charles Jannace is a legitimate candidate and I welcome him to the forum." ... they then turned to Ron Alessi and asked his opinion... Ron's response with arms folded and a smirk on his face was "OK"....


More to come...

Does Size Actually Matter?

OK Ladies, we're talking about the sign here!

I know Charles Jannace has been agressively out on Rt. 13 waving to the Public as well as John Cannon. Has anyone seen Ron Alessi doing so and or Rick Pollitt?

Schedules are tight and everyone seems to be trying hard to be everywhere and you have to wonder, will the yard signs and billboards actually make a difference in this race? Two weeks and counting people!

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!

After just 32 minutes into the City Council Meeting Charles Jannace had enough. At least he had his handy palm pilot and played Pac Man the entire time. LOL

Several people made remarks about why Charles didn't get up and speak and instead left? You'll just have to ask the man himself because I truly don't have that answer. My guess, his batteries wore out.

Didn't Alessi leave his meeting early last night too? It must have something to do with being raised on warm milk and cookies at a certain time every evening?

Mike Dunn Is An Idiot!

Last night was simply unbelievable. I had the Mayor following me around trying to listen into my cell phone conversations and then I was subjected to listening the Mike Dunn show he just might be a bigger Idiot than Ron Alessi!

As they customized their rules of order on the City Council, they more or less clarified there is NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the City of Salisbury. Not in City Council Meetings anyway. It's time to bring some experts in because these guys are way over the line any more.

In other words, you either be nice and speak nicely to the Council or we'll say you're out of order and be done with you. The next thing you know, Bob Taylor makes a statement and Mike Dunn gavels him down and says, you can't speak to us like that. He then read a paragraph from the new rules and it did not in fact state Mr. Taylor couldn't say what he had said. So Mike Dunn looked like an Idiot, (because he is) Mike continued to state that in the "spirit" of that paragraph in which he just read, be nice or be gone, more or less.

The next thing we knew, (during the next public comment) Bob Taylor got up and spoke about another matter and as he was speaking Mike Dunn very clearly started laughing right at Bob Taylor. Now here's a man gaveling down a citizen because he didn't like his tone and the next thing we know he's laughing in the citizens face while speaking!

When they took the 7:00 break I went up to Mike Dunn and I stated, while I can understand your wanting the tone from the citizens to be more respectable here Mike, how do you think it looks when the President of the City Council clearly starts laughing in the face of a citizen while on camera? Gary Comegys immediately said, "What did I do?" I said, not you Gary, Mike was laughing while Bob Taylor was speaking and I'd like to know why Mike thinks he's above and beyond everyone else here and feels he can get away with such a thing? Mike replied, "You wanna know what I have to say to that Joe? I laugh at you too. Every time you come here Joe, I laugh at you and I have nothing more to say."

Yeah, that's your City Council President. What A Guy!
