<p>Willy, I have a conceit that I am a reasonable person, and I have an impression from your comments over the years that you are a reasonable person. We come to the same conclusion.</p>
<p>One would hope that at least one city official in Scottville is a reasonable person, it's probable that to get where they are in life, that they are all reasonable people. All those reasonable people cannot form a reasonable answer that other reasonable people can understand and forgive the unforgivable…</p>
<p>Willy, I have a conceit that I am a reasonable person, and I have an impression from your comments over the years that you are a reasonable person. We come to the same conclusion.</p>
<p>One would hope that at least one city official in Scottville is a reasonable person, it's probable that to get where they are in life, that they are all reasonable people. All those reasonable people cannot form a reasonable answer that other reasonable people can understand and forgive the unforgivable excesses portrayed in my recent articles on Scottville. </p>
<p>It is reasonable to infer that there is no answer within the realm of reason that would allow for the discrete form of embezzlement portrayed here, so rather than look foolish in offering an unreasonable excuse, they choose to ignore the messenger. They did that entirely this Monday night, and that was because they realize that claiming she was a full-time employee at the last meeting was a mistake.</p>
<p>Gandhi summed up speaking truth to power nicely when he made the conclusion: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." The safest thing for them to do is to ignore me, hoping I will go away, but that's not going to happen while I'm still fogging the mirror and they're still denying their graft. The next stage is ridicule and that will be revisited in the near future, shaming themselves by using their position to try and discredit the truth by shaming the messenger. </p>
<p>I fully expect a fight to be put up by Scottville City Hall sometime during this summer when their biweekly dose of the truth about their corruption makes them too uncomfortable to diminish or ridicule the facts.</p> What I don't understand is th…tag:ludingtoncitizen.ning.com,2021-03-03:4689834:Comment:13338342021-03-03T00:04:34.817ZWillyhttp://ludingtoncitizen.ning.com/profile/willy
<p>What I don't understand is that if there is a good explanation for what has taken place, why have they not explained it? If what you assert is true then that means the entire executive and legislative branches of Scottvile's government are complicit.</p>

<p>At tonight's meeting I made a comment that summarized the above information and said that Murphy and Shafer are effectively committing a felony crime of embezzlement by funneling an extra $22,000 each year to the part-timer in wages and benefits and by allowing Chief Murphy to claim and use comp time when he can't do so. My comments were totally ignored tonight, they just conducted their normal business.</p>

<p>When corrupt and criminal public officials ignore me, I have a historic tendency to pay additional attention to them. I have friends in Scottville whose tax dollars are being wasted by fraud and embezzlement conducted by the city treasurer and acting city manager. </p>

<p>Good work X. It's a shame that small town politics can be so divisive. But I'm sure Alway, having the inside track on City Hall, will have his ace reporters get right on this story and make it front page news. Scottville citizens deserve better.</p>
