| If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a novel. The Oley Valley School Board dances with questions from a taxpayer. The community member wants clarification on the Nextel lease and on the results of the PSSA tests. The Reading Eagle editorial says the board violates the Sunshine Act by not revealing all the details of a pending lease agreement with Nextel. There are revenue and cost projections that should be public information. The district uses the solicitor to fend off any inquiries. Dr. Stubits, the Assistant Superintendent sang the praises of the PSSA test results earlier in the meeting, yet retreats from her exhalations when the speaker raises questions that are more detailed. During the entire exchange, the school board remains silent. | |

Is the board not saying anything because they are afraid making a fool of themselves?
Clear answers to clear questions should not be so difficult for this educated group of people. It would appear members of the board and administration talk in circles as a method to say they "responded" to the audience -- but without "answering" the questions.
Yes, that certainly is worth a novel! Is that how the concerned citizens always question the board! For heaven's sake!!
I thought the board was arrogant. They certainly don't seem arrogant to me! They seem as if they are patiently allowing the person to ask question after question as if they are on trial. The questions are patiently answered by Linda Stubits (at least that's who it looks like). Please post more of these videos. They tell the REAL story!
Smile for the birdie! :) :)
but nothing about football!!!!!
Looking for the arrogance?
Wait until ALL of the board members are present....
The board silence has nothing to do with civility, but rather with hiding or evading.
The Nextel lease will have an impact on the district. Any cash flow projections are public information, yet the board tells the community nothing.
We were told the Middle School steel contractor's lawsuit against the district was not public information either, since the beginning of this year.
Yet, we discover the case pleadings were available since March of 2005.
Maybe, the board did not want the citizens to discover the nasty $1,400,000 price tag hanging over our heads.
Perhaps, the next video will show a bubbly, loquacious board tripping over themselves embracing another million dollar, non-state mandated, non-educational boondoggle.
Forget Oley Lynx
Oley Boondogglers would look great on football jerseys.
"Additional thoughts or clarification on the current Act 1 as well as on the Comm. Caucus plan would be appreciated"
The Commonwealth Caucus goal is to eliminate school property taxes and replace them with other forms of taxation.
HB1 uses basically the same taxation as before, except it has spending controls.
The Caucus plan did not have much support in Harrisburg even when the Republicans were in control.
Now, there is talk of reviving the package.
Frankly,it faces an uphill battle.
A lot of people prefer this tax reform, but the special interests and the politicans are not showing enough interest to pass legislation.
House Bill 2929 contains all of the particulars.
In the meantime, contact the legislators listed on the blog, and request that they tighten the ten exclusions to the referendum.
"Perhaps, the next video will show a bubbly, loquacious board tripping over themselves embracing another million dollar, non-state mandated, non-educational boondoggle."
Good to know that such a positive thinking, supportive individual such as yourself is a part of the community in which I live!
...positive thinking and supportive?
Here's a new angle...how about if we all just chuckle, smile, and let the chips fall where they may? To heck with worrying about what the board is up to. Instead, we can all sit in our cozy living rooms, and do some scrap-booking. Be sure to include lots of photos of how this town USED to be. And get some nice pictures of your house, all warm and cozy. Print up a cute little label like this:
Here's a picture of what we looked like when we could still afford HEAT. Check it out, everyone is IN the living room, and we're not wearing mittens! Isn't that funny?
Here's another snappy pic of our family gathering around the fireplace. What's that in the fire? Table legs? Oh well, it's always been fun to eat on the floor like the Asians.
Oh, look at this funny one. It's a framed photo of the last tax bill we were able to pay in full! Isn't that something?
Here's a photo of old Uncle Bobby. He worked in a foundry. They are all gone, now. We're a service industry town. Did you want Fries with that?
Oh, goodness! Maybe some year, we can afford tickets to attend an Oley Football Game...in the 14 Karat Gold stadium. Heck, man, that is sure is something special!
All these great memories. Good thing somebody is taking pictures. It could be all we have left...just memories. Oley is no different than any other little Pennsylvania town. Folks running the show with big, toothy smiles forcing uncomfortable grins. Well, the magic kingdom of Oley is going to get kind of boaring when it's only the big money guys left. When it gets that far, don't forget, some of them will be on the low end of the totem pole, and the rest will know that and treat them accordingly. History repeats itself. Again, and again.
...and all that is the fault of the Oley School Board, correct? Wow! They certainly have some power, because the scene you're painting is all across the country; not just in Oley!
Hello!
What they are saying is that this scenario is happening on a local level, and GUESS WHAT?
We can address this on a local level.
If you want the school board spending your hard earned money on things that do not benefit ALL the children, then why don't you donate YOUR MONEY, AND STOP ASKING FOR US TO FUND THINGS FOR ONLY YOUR CHILDREN.
There are 2,000+ children in this school district, not just a select few. All the children are entitled to a free and APPROPRIATE education, not just the sports wishings and desirings of the PARENTS WHO WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE EVERYTHING.
If you want your child to have the experience of playing on a sports team, then why don't you go out and buy one.
What about the artistic children, and the muscially talented children? Do you see their parents whining and stomping their feet to get these classes into the district, because these classes also are not mandated, and Oley feels the need to remove these items before thinking about cutting the athletic programs.
Ideally it would be great if the school district could provide all these extras for their students, but unfortunately this is not possible, but for a specific group (the athletic children) to be constantly given all the funding from the taxpayers is wrong.
And again I say to the taxpayers of this school district, you had better WAKE UP SOON - because if you don't, the next thing that Dr. Zackon will be doing is building another high school, administration building, and spending the money on everything but EDUCATION, and the taxpayers of this district are going to find themselves in a hell of a bind.
There are many facets to this problem, but one major facet is the POWER AND ABUSE OF POWER THAT THIS CURRENT SCHOOL BOARD HAS, AND HAS HAD FOR THE PAST 7 OR 8 YEARS, AND IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SPENDING OUR MONEY.
YOU CAN DENY THIS ALL YOU WANT, BUT SHORTLY THIS WILL COME TO A HEAD, AND SOME CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE MADE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, AND THIS MAY COME FROM A GROUP THAT NO ONE EXPECTS IT TO COME FROM.
November 7th is just around the corner, and hopefully all will remember the pay raise that the legislators gave themselves in the wee hours of the morning, while we were sleeping.
It is time to wake up, people. There are many issues on the state level, however, the state doesn't dictate all the school's spending, it only dictates the programs that use state money, and the school district has the directive to spend the remainder of the money as THE SCHOOL BOARD SEES FIT, not as the State sees fit.
Interestingly the school district and school board blame everything on the State, but I don't see anyone from the state signing the checks that leave this district.
And next in line after the fiscally irresponsible spending by the board, are the
T E A C H E R S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and all the other feeders off the system.
NOT JUST HAPPENING IN OLEY?
THAT'S A GREAT POINT. BUT WE ARE OLEY....THAT'S THE POINT. WE CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY, WE CARE ABOUT ALL OF OUR COUNTRY'S CHILDREN, BUT OUR FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS RIGHT HERE, IN OUR OWN BACK YARD. WHO CARES WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS' BUDGETS AND TEST SCORES ARE? WE ARE OLEY. WE NEED TO PUT OUR CHILDREN FIRST, AND OUR OWN PURSE STRINGS RIGHT UP THERE NEXT TO THAT. HOW MANY RICHIE RICH FAMILIES WILL WE DRAW TO A COMMUNITY THAT HAS SO MUCH OF A PROBLEM AGREEING ON ANYTHING? HOW SAD AND PATHETIC IS IT THAT HARDLY ANYONE GOES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS? AL IS RIGHT, THERE IS NO WELCOME MAT THERE. DO YOU SEE WHO SHOWS UP TO VOTE? STROLL AROUND OUR POLLS. MOST VOTERS SHOW UP WITH CANES AND WALKERS. OR IN A SCHOOL TEACHERS' CAR-POOL. THE REST OF THE VOTING PUBLIC IS OUT WORKING TWO JOBS TO SUPPORT LIVING IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
It's like saying that you are going to go after Kings Supermarket because the price of beef in the U.S.is too high. Yes, it is a problem in Oley, but it cannot be fixed just by complaining to Kings. If it's a national problem it needs to be addressed on a national level or the problem will never be solved. The same scenario applies to the Oley school board. Without fixing things on the state level, you'll never be satisfied with the board's actions because the entire system is broken and the Oley Valley school board must work within that broken system. Your attempts to change things at this level are going to frustrate you and result in very little or no change.
For example, some of you have been speaking at board meetings since LB and RS were on the board(and even before that) , yet things are still the same. I've been a resident of Oley for a long time, and my taxes have done nothing but slowly and steadily increase. You (and/or others like you) have been working at this for a very long time, and the board has had many changes in personnel over that period of time, yet things remain the same. It's like trying to put a 1" bandaid on a broken leg and expecting it to heal the broken bone. You need to get to the root of the problem and that is at the state and/or federal level.
To the previous post. You are hitting the nail on the head with those comments. However, it makes you and your comments easy targets for angry comments to be directed towards you. I will start the flow of such comments by saying it is real easy to be a arm chair quarterback and make changes after the fact, but WHAT SOLUTIONS AND/OR SUGGESTIONS do you have to recommend. Complaining is for weak minded individuals. Offering logical and realistic solutions is what truly concerned individuals offer.
As for your bandaid on your broken leg, that makes me think of Act 1 on the current problems.
To blogger 9?22 p.m.:
It is OK with you that the school district allowed 45 teachers to be absent on one day, and have 45 substitute teachers also come in to work, have the classes not being taught, and every one gets paid. Then on top of this, we have the floaters coming in and getting paid also?
That is $4,125 for the subs and the floaters, and god knows what the teachers got paid, and on top of that, have the classes not really being taught, which means the children did not have that particular class on that day.
Now take that about 10 to 15 teachers out on a daily basis, 10 to 15 subs called in to work, and the additional floaters called to work every day, and multiply that times 180 days.
Do you feel that there is anything that can be done about this absentee rate.
These are not all illnesses. These are scheduled absences, and sometimes do not even count against the teacher.
Oley budgeted approximately $225,000 last year for substitutes, and I'm sure they used every possible penny.
Please tell me what the State and Federal Government had to do with this.
Do you think that it is okay for the school district to pay for the education of a substitute teacher, just like they pay for the regular union teachers?
We still are waiting for a few teachers who left employment last year to repay the tuition that they were reimbursed, and then left the school district. This comes to quite a large amount of money.
Please tell me what the State and Federal Government has to do with that.
Did the State and Federal Government tell the school district to buy gift cards for the secretaries for whatever reason they were bought.
I did not see that motion before the board.
In the private sector, if a secretary was given a gift, the people who gave the gift took a collection for the gift, they did not dip into the taxpayer's pockets for the money.
Did the State and Federal Government tell the school district to do this?
I have plenty more to ask, and it has nothing to do with the State and Federal Government telling the school district to pay for it.
I have a very simple solution to the problem.
MAKE THE EMPLOYEES COME TO WORK AND DO THEIR JOB, AND STOP THROWING TAXPAYER MONEY AWAY FOR THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE.
Cindy, a little bit of knowledge can be a very harmful thing. I would not be surprised to learn that the district budgets 225,000 for subs considering that many first year employees are hired as long term subs. You are getting off the point though. The problem lies with the state. Check the budgeted amount for subs in any district in the state. In cases where they hire teachers as long term subs (which is a monetarily smart move), the budget will be at least that much. You are trying to bring the issue back to Oley when it is a much larger issue, a state issue.
You're skirting the issue that was brought up in the prior post.
Sorry, folks. Can't agree with ALL of that. Yes, the problems begin at the state level. NO, the board does not HAVE to work solely with a broken system. For starters, with limited funds, they should concentrate on EDUCATIONAl things, and let the frilly sports extras sit on the back burner. If the football boosters are bugging the board about the WANTS and demands...tell THEM to work out a plan. We've got a bus load of kids that can't read in 9th grade, and those kids don't belong on the sports bus, they belong at a desk. Finally...learning to read. WE paid for them to learn for 9 years, if they don't learn, we want our money back.
B I N G O
Dear 10:26 p.m.
Our first year teachers are not hried as long-term subs.
I don't know where you got that information, but you are way off base.
If you are OK with 45 teachers being absent on a given day, YOU PAY FOR IT.
All the little things add up, and over an 8-year period they really add up.
With this kind of mentality, soon the school district will have 10,000 employees to teach 2,000 kids.
10,000 people to teach 2,000 kids?
Not too far from the truth, is it? Thank God that with all that guidance and skilled training, we can look forward to our kids learing how to read by 8th grade, instead of 9th. Will wonders never cease?
Hopefully, the sports enthusiasts will see to it that with each tax dollar that is invested in our youth's spirit, discipline, and health.....we will never again see a need for the graduates to pay their kids to go get the remote, fetch another beer for daddy, or avoid tying their own shoes because they can't reach the laces.
"You need to get to the root of the problem and that is at the state and/or federal level."
The state nor the federal government do not mandate the following:
1.Teacher salary and benefits.
2.Superintendent salary and benefits.
3.Administration salary and benefits.
...75% of the district budget is salary and benefits.
4. The grandeur of a new buildings.
...there is a $3,000,000 debt service for these structures which represents approximately 4.43 mills of taxes.
5. A $1,400,000 lawsuit against the district.
6. A $1,300,000 track/facility.
7. Etc.........
The state and federal government is doing something about the school board's inability to manage education, fiscal and educational controls.
This is called accountability, something which our group requests, but receives little attention.
The tactic of stonewalling answers to questions may be the board's short term solution, but in the near future,they must act or face fines and removal.
If the problem was correctly handled on the state level, you wouldn't be footing the bill by paying property taxes. That is the heart of the issue....the system!
That is correct, but it does not excuse the school board and administration of FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING!
You're right. No excuse at all, but it sure makes it convenient for the board to have someone else to blame. It's like a free pass for them....and a major toll for the rest of us. Time for a change.
Wyomissing 68 Fleetwood 0
Football at Fleetwood sure is working out great. We can't wait for it to come to Oley. It will be so much fun losing by scores like that.
If the taxpayers have to fund Oley Football, we'll be the losers....
Who initiated Football at Fleetwood? The cousins of the ones pushing it for Oley? Everything's relative....
If we ran our family budgets the way the school board runs that "budget" we'd ALL be in the poor house.
For all the Oley Football Boosters -
Please take notice that Fleetwood dressed only 19 players for the 68-0 slaughter by Wyomissing.
Pretty pathetic turnout of players for a high school program into their 5 or 6th year.
Fleetwood is currently zero wins, nine losses.
Oley should not expect to be any different, especially if they rush to get the program in the high school. Football should stay in the youth league for 5 or 6 years to see if there is any real population of boys to fill out full rosters of middle school and high school teams.
Those looking for the state's fiscal accountability with Act 1 will again be sadly disappointed. What we'll be seeing across the state will be boards increasing taxes to the percentage allowed. Very few if any will go to referrendum, but all will see increases, needed or not. This new law is another of Swift Eddie's smoke and mirrors.
And let me know when you get your slots money to reduce your taxes - $100 maybe ten years from now, WOW!
Yeah, let's re-elect him!
Me thinks that the town folk would be mighty surprised to see the other guy get elected. Me thinks...
"Those looking for the state's fiscal accountability with Act 1 will again be sadly disappointed. What we'll be seeing across the state will be boards increasing taxes to the percentage allowed. Very few if any will go to referrendum, but all will see increases, needed or not. This new law is another of Swift Eddie's smoke and mirrors."
A school board that asserts they will raise taxes higher whether they are needed or not should be fired by the voters.
School tax increases exceeded the rate of inflation and the state average wage increase for years.
Our taxes would be half today if there was a referendum on spending.
HB1 is far from perfect, but anything is better than blank check budgets.
E-mail the representatives on the blog and demand a tighter referendum.
It is time the taxpayers have a real say on how others spend their hard earned income.
Taxes will be raised to the limits not because school boards enjoy it. Rather because their budgets need to be in final draft months prior to the Governor's state budget. Anothrer "brilliant Eddie" move. Swann gets my vote!
Tighter referendum - Ha! The coffee is brewing, wake up and smell it. These legislators are all patting themselves on the back and taking credit for "meaningful property tax reform" and back end referendum - without mention of it being full of exemptions. Refund, in what decade??
And you won't be able to "fire" any board members unless someone else actually challenges them for their seats.
Keep spinning!
Here's a question for all of you...
Does anyone have anything good to say about any of our board members?
Zilch..Nada..Nichts..Rein...
Two board members have pulled their children from the district.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
One of the board members you mention took one of their children out of the middle school (who can blame them for that?) but the other child is still in the high school.
Make sure your facts are correct before making disparaging remarks.
The Middle School -
I wish I had a $ for every stupid story I've heard about Mrs.Lightcap. She is a problem the school district has never dealt with. Ask principal Markley at the high school how unprepared the ninth grade is when they get to him.
Oley middle school should be called "the lost years".
- Been there Done That
Folks, this is your big chance to vote for a change, to get rid of the bums, to send a message to Harrisburg by not voting for Eddie Rendell.
A vote for Eddie is a vote for more of the same high property and income taxes.
Like Al says, "It is time the taxpayers have a real say on how others spend their hard earned income." Get rid of Rendell, vote for Lynn Swann.
- I approve of this message.
Some Guy in Oley.
Hello my daughter is in 8th grade and doing very well. I actually feel bad for Mrs. Lightcap. She is under-staffed and needs more help. If your child and yourself took education seriously, you would be checking to make sure they are on task. Yes they need to be better prepared for HS, but the people higher then Mrs. Lightcap need to get her the help and support she needs. As for the board member pulling her child from the MS, that was not a good move, her child was in the gifted program and she would have done very well with Ms. Short. Parents have to know what their children are up to and what they are doing in school. MS are the hardest years for children and for anyone to teach them. They need to know their limits and if they need help to prepare for HS, the parents and the children should ask for the help.
Yes vote Eddie out!! He is full of junk. He has not given us any tax relief in the past 4 years and the board is not in any hurry to support Sam's package. They would loose all of their power. And why else are they still on the board? They have the power to keep raising our taxes! They enjoy that, do not say they don't. After they past the budget every year they have a icecream and strawberry party, right in the board room. So please get your facts straight and support changes that are needed for the children and the public of this district and the people across this state.
Changes are needed at the local level. The school board did not have to raise our taxes this past year and they did with alot of money sitting around and they call that a rainy day fund. How many people have that? We need to get a break from the local level and the state level. What more can the people of this state take? We are at the end of the rope! The board does not seem to care who can pay the taxes and who cannot! 5 openings for the board will be next year, lets get some new faces on the board and new ideas.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! MAY THE GHOST BE WITH YOU!!
Just to set the record straight, the ice cream and strawberries is a tradition that goes back 20 years. It is not a "party" to celebrate passing the budget or raising taxes. The board meeting in June is the same time as local strawberries are available and long ago the board, along with anyone who attended the board meeting,were invited to have some after the meeting. It used to be held in the cafeteria until the meetings were moved to the board room. Also, the strawberries and ice cream are not purchased with district (taxpayers) money.
"The board does not seem to care who can pay the taxes and who cannot! 5 openings for the board will be next year, lets get some new faces on the board and new ideas."
Then run for office. You all think everyone on the current board is a low-life scumbag, so do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It never was said how many children were pulled out, and the remark was made about 2 board members, not just one.
Get your facts straight.
I believe the comment was, two board members pulled their children out. Plural board members, plural children.
RS:
Who then purchases the strawberries and ice cream?
...That 20 year tradition needs an overhaul. If they wish to celebrate things they've done, maybe they should wait until they do something worth the celebration. Improving test scores, lowering taxes, hanging on to a business manager, there's a start. Take it from there, bloggers...."
The board president brought the strawberries and ice cream.
Also, it is NOT a celebration of anything. I didn't know you had to be celebrating something in order to have ice cream. There are enough things to criticize the board about without this nit-picking.
Come on Russ, this blog is all about nit-picking. Who the h-ll cares who buys $10 worth of ice cream? This is a classic example of how some of the doom saying Al Jacobs cronies make something out of nothing.
Next time send me the bill.
Send me the bill? Sure thing! And your name is______?
To whomever wrote
"Get your facts straight. I believe the comment was, two board members pulled their children out. Plural board members, plural children.
12:48 AM"
Please try to stay focused.
MY comment was about ONE board member, singular. You must obviously be an Oley grad with poor reading comprehension.
Go Fleetwood Football
We don't care about strawberries and ice cream. Who has an appetite after the 7th consecutive tax increase?
Ever notice how much a strawberry looks like a football?
Ever notice how a football looks so innocent, until people are fighting over it?
Ever notice that when everyday citizens try to get a "professional income" board to see how things are for the rest of the kids on the block....they immediately change the subject?
I thought it as APPLES that was what we brought to our teachers! Now, we find out all along, it was supposed to be STRAWBERRIES! And, that makes sense, since there's so much more room to stack up the strawberries on the teacher's desk! Now imagine, with the right tax increase, how many strawberries they could serve themselves at next year's tax raising board meeting!

You are the STRAWBERRY of my eye?
I know some families that went to Catholic School and then came back to Oley. They told me that the children and teachers are the same as the public school so why spend more money on education when they pay their taxes to Oley they might as well use the system. B.B. is paying a big fee to send her daughter to Catholic School and she would have done very well at the Oley MS. If your child wants to learn and you the parent care about education then your child can do good at the MS. Ask B.B. how her older daughter is doing in the HS and if B.B. likes the HS. We have problems at all levels of this school district and more parents need to get involved in the education of their children, not just come to Halloween parades and sports activities.
Okay, for the new guys here, who the heck is B.B.?
By the way, where did the story line end up that mentioned 7 years consecutive tax hikes? The answers all all fruits, no meat!
also from a new blogger...
It does not look good for a school board member, or members, do take their own children out of this school system. What sense does that make? It's as if they're saying, " this system we're working with here is good enough for your children, but not good enough for mine." If there are things that don't float with the board members, then the system should be changed to make it good for all the students, including those of a board member.
"This is a classic example of how some of the doom saying Al Jacobs cronies make something out of nothing."
1.$1,400,000 lawsuit against the district.
2.$1,000,000 uncollectable reimbursement from the state because of the lawsuit.
3.$150,000 overspent in underwriting costs for the Middle School debt.
4.$1,300,000 track
5.$33,000 for track architect
Total non-state mandated, non-educational = $$3,883,000.00
This figure does not include legal bills incurred by the district regarding the lawsuit.
"Next time send me the bill."
Not a problem..name and address, please.
An apple of your eye! not in your eye! B.B. is on the board! You can figure it out! Also please give us your name and address so we can send you the bill. Look at all the expenses in the above blog that the board is wasting because of stupid mistakes. This is money that we can be using to make the school district "all three buildings" better. This is money for the children and maybe the public could finally get a tax break.
The ice cream and strawberries are given out the same meeting every year in June when they pass the budget. So when you get 7 years of tax increases why would you want to eat afterwards? My stupid is upset and if anything I feel like getting sick not eating ice cream and strawberries. The board should pick another meeting to give food out.
100% correct!
stomach not stupid
All I can do when I read these blogs is shake my head and sigh. I feel very sorry for some of you who have so much anger.
wow
Private school, homeschool, hair color, adoption, driving Audi, summer home in Maine. . . maybe private choices are no one else's business.
You're right, all but the one thing. If you run for and are elected to the board, then you're telling everyone that voted for you that YOU are the infulence needed to better this school system, along with the rest of the board. What's good for the goose, folks. It's that simple.
That would be like being married to the shoemaker and taking your kids around barefoot.
Or being a hairdresser and sending your kids out of the door with a koolaid hairdo.
Do what makes sense! And sending your kids elsewhere does not make sense. Not when you publicly prolclaimed while running for office...just how you'd like to see the board changed. It sure is funny, by the way, how few of those comments made by people running for school board...ever again see the light of day.
No anger we just want accountability and honesty! What is so bad about that! Good Night! May the Lord bless all of us!
Nothing is bad about that. It's the other comments that are extremely harsh
OK everyone, calm down and talk nice from now on! Only concerns of this district OK! Let us get some possitive feedback from the administration and the board on questions and issues we have. The time has come for all of us to work together for the best interest of the children and the public. We want honesty and accountability.
well, well, well, I thought that by checking out this blog I would perhaps find some intelligent comments on the issues at hand. Boy, was I ever wrong. Wrong too in thinking that the "concerned citizens" weren't just spreading propaganda. You people really need to get a life.
"well, well, well, I thought that by checking out this blog I would perhaps find some intelligent comments on the issues at hand."
And just what intelligent comment have you made?
