We will be looking for certain bellwethers (for the ass clowns from the civic club, "bellwethers" are signs that predict the future. Oh, "predict" means to say what is going to happen in the future. Yeah, "future" means time that has yet to come. Okay, so a "sign" is something that indicates or expresses the existence of something else not immediately apparent. Hmmm, "existence" is being. Uh-huh, "apparent" means . . . never mind, fellas. Just order another Old Milwaukee Light and relax).
So anyway, we are going to learn a little bit about the degree of difficulty the mindless wrecking ball Martin will face as he carries out his SECRET plans to destroy YOUR police department:
- Will hillbillies from the lynch mob show up expressing support for Martin's SECRET plan?
- Will sane people show up asking serious questions about Martin's SECRET plan?
- Will anyone on council talk about Martin's SECRET plan?
- Will Martin himself reveal anything more about his SECRET plan? Or, will he hide behind the FALSE PREMISE that he is in the middle of negotiations?
- Will Martin once again hand council a bag of financial snakes and then tell everyone what a great job $47.50 per hour, crony-hire, bucket-headed bookkeeper Cordelia Schaber is doing?
- Is someone going to ask Martin if he also tried to negotiate a discounted TAXPAYER-FUNDED fee for the work provided by his high-priced whore Toad McMurtry?
- Will Martin beat his chest and announce that the voters elected him to destroy their police department in order to "save" money?
- Will Martin be prepared to justify why he intends to RAISE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES BY THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED BY LAW?
- Will Martin be able to explain how he can justify hiring yet another full-time clerk (when one now does nothing every day but play Minesweeper and Solitaire on her computer for 8 hours), retain three public works employees who no longer do any street repair work, buy a new, expensive dump truck AND YET STILL REFUSES TO BRING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PROPER STAFFING LEVELS?
- Will there be cake and ice cream for the departing City Attorney Mike Duncan? Maybe a plaque? Plaques are always nice.
- Will we get a chance to meet Martin's new City Clerk? Will she get an immediate pay raise to keep pace with the multi-year pay raises received by the "Queen of Solitaire and Minesweeper", Sue Bree? Will she get a plaque?
- Will yet another of Martin's hack council members try to toss a (surprise) hand grenade at an unsuspecting city employee only to fumble it in to their own foxhole and blow themselves up? (YES, Holly Boo-Boo. That was YOU at last month's meeting.) Gee, we hope so. We might even give someone a plaque if it happens.
