OY, POOR GRACIE

     You gotta' feel sorry for this woman. Every time she opens her mouth she follows the directions that state, "Open mouth, insert foot." I don't really know or understand why she persists in this self harmful manner, but she really bought it this time on Gary's blog.
     The technique of repeating a lie so often that people begin to believe it is the truth, has backfired. No one can stomach her claim that David Israel told the delegates that they if they approve the paving the way it was presented, there would be cracks, but what the hey! what is five million amongst friends???? She claims that there was this special meeting for the delegates where they were presented with "facts", then voted for cracked paving and a waste of money and therefore it is all their fault.
     This is like the clip on an early Sesame Street episode dealing with telling the truth where a little boy spilled his milk and then tells his mother in a vividly portrayed lie that an elephant had come in thru the window and knocked it over. That was funny. You, Gracie, your little old biddies that you hang with, and all others that persist in following David Israel down this road to perdition  - you are not funny, not in the least. Sad - yes; pathetic - yes; dangerous to CV - yes, emphatically so.
     First, David Israel, aided and abetted by Ed Black, signed for the first phase, approximately $2 million dollars worth of contract. Ed Black was Treasurer when the first contract was signed so he was FULLY aware and involved in that whole mess. Then there were shenanigans with the money, Ed Black signed for and moved $80,000 without delegate permission, without approval or knowledge of the Treasurer, then a ridiculous waste of time and money negotiation was held during which these same two liars cost the village thousands to finance a line of credit which we did not need at all and then conned the delegates into approving the second phase of this horrific paving job, this travesty of a contract, signed on a blank page, one page at that, no liability clause, no lawyer, no protection for the Village, worse than crappy job with which we are living, and a reserve shortfall for the money that was illegally moved and then spent on this idiocy - oh, but I forgot the $700,000 that was suddenly "found" now (Uh huh!) and no appreciable money saved up now for the redo of this travesty much sooner than later.
     THIS, Gracie, is why there is a growing opposition to the administration of David Israel, to his henchmen Ed Black and Marilyn Gorodetzer, to the wasteful and profligate spending that goes on, to the wrong priorities, to the lies, to the nastiness. In Fiddler, the rabbi is asked if there is a blessing for the Tsar and the rabbi replies, "May the Lord bless and keep the Tsar - far away from us!" How true in this case as well. May this administration be kept - FAR AWAY FROM US, FROM THE VILLAGE and let us get on with what we have to fix, with installing process and procedure, with proper management of funds, with responsibility towards our residents and not to oneself, with proper priorities, with no more Big Brother, and on and on and on.
     Get the picture, Gracie. People have lost patience with you and your crowd, or rather, mob. I generally tend to ignore your stupidities and nasty comments that you send. I laugh and move on, but enough is enough for a lot of people. "mene, mene tekel oopharsin." So says the Bible and so say we who live in and love the Village. Your days, the days of this administration are numbered. An accounting is at hand.
