Fish, Our petitions may have stopped Light Rail in Portland. The planners of the boondoggle had a meeting this week to approve another $10 million environmental impact study which was the final approval of Light Rail through our section and green light $2-5 Billion in pork.
Unexpectedly the meeting turned to admitting they could not defeat our petitions or go around them and finally admitting they didn’t have the money. They tabled the decision until Nov to see how the elections go and likely have tabled it permanently.
We are the national model for transportation and are about to put the final nail in its coffin. The establishment is mortified.
Pray America wakes up
The reason the Greenies almost always win is because almost everybody else is busy working and not paying much attention.
Keep at it Bray, keep at it.
Bray, I got a real neat something I found out.
I got a snoop (I got snoops all over the place, damn I’m good at it) who sent me an email and asked if I wanted him to forward it to me daily.
What it is, and I never knew such a thing existed...the county, and state I must suppose, pays a guy and all he does is gather links to the local media, newspapers, web sites, radio talk show bytes....on all local and state issues.
So my friend (one of my men friends....there are many, THESE guys will tell you anything, insert wink here)...forwarded this email to me and guess what I found?
MY BLOG POSTS....zillions of them!
Heh. I have a special way of titling my blog posts”Delaware politics read ‘em and weep....the 0/00/00 edition.” There were a slew of these; made me consider re-doing this Blog thing.
As I understand it, every employee and elected official of all counties (there’s only 3 of them in Delaware, don’t get too excited) and state get a copy of this email, gathered by a paid state employee.
What a hoot!
So I am told, and I have no proof of this but I am told by someone who would know, that Governor Markell reads my column every day. Not that this fact is a source of pride, Markell being a low-IQ liberal.
Still.....
I am reaching THOUSANDS of people every day and never even knew it. Although there were clues. My editor keeps calling me and asking if I need anything, am I okay?
When I request an interview they jump at the bit to work with me. I am very nervous about FreeRepublic. I know of one Freeper who joins sometimes on this thread but I trust him.
I say a lot of things on this thread I’m not sure I’d want those many gubmint employees reading. Some day, some way, I think they’re going to fight back against me.
If your group doesn’t have a Blog, get one.
Adding to the bemusement, daughter’s PFA comes up right as a local guy I supported is on trial for rape and a local elected guy too has a PFA.
Melissa says to me...”What is John Atkins’ wife name? Is it Heather?”
Heh. Which it is. Long story about this guy but daughter knows it. Said she and Heather were in same room yesterday than it’s a media firestorm as Eric Bodenweiser (”Mom, you got his bumper sticker on the Jeep!”) and his wife come trotting up.
Sometimes I think God has a plan for me and arranges these things perfectly.
But I dream.
