Election 2009 Part II

Its D-Day for Maine and the City. There's a lot at stake so I'm really hoping you get out to vote today. I was lucky enough to take advantage of the early voting in Bangor and avoided today's rat race. The single poling station will turn out to be a nightmare with long lines, but its a nice day, so suck it up people. My predictions are as follows:

City Council
1. Gratwick
2. Lodgek
3. Weston

State Ref's
1. Yes
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Yes

Pretty simple...Read 'em and weep folks


The removal of Ed Barret this past week is a farce. What was said behind close doors that it came to this? Maybe someone will crack after the election and spill the beans, but I doubt we'll ever know. Its a shame, to put it mildly. Sorry Ed, you deserve better treatment. I'm very disappointed in the Council for keeping this behind closed doors. Only Geoffrey has the sense to speak out on this lack of transparency. Somethings afoot my friends, and we're not gonna like it.

I'll close with this simple question for our beloved Police Chief, Ron "Chicken Little" Gastia. Why is it that everyone can rake huge piles of leaves out into the street, but my right tire touching the grass is deemed "un-safe" and gets me ticketed? Sounds like an arbitrary application of City laws to me.

Till next time..be safe and park properly for Pete's sake
