Finally had time to sit down and "read" what there is to read in The Rag. Took about ten minutes. What interested me the most were the articles written by Barbara Cornish and Joy Vestal as their "vice presidential" official comments.
Both of them took off after the opposition, you know the people who have insisted on truth in advertising, in truth and transparency in all dealings and activities of UCO, who have asked hard questions and who now are vindicated by the facts of the road paving job.
For years we have been saying, shouting unto the heavens, that the job was pure garbage, that we were robbed of over five million dollars and the robbery was chaired by the three caballeros - David Israel, Ed Black and Bob Marshall. They shifted money without delegate approval, "signed" a contract of less than one page and did not even sign on the same page! They did not hire a project supervisor and the list goes on. Go to Gary's blog and read in Scandals for the details of this travesty of justice. It is a thorough study of it.
For years we have been saying we need to get money for repairs and been told no, you are wrong, only looking to cause trouble. There are years of life to go. Now we see that in one of their own meetings there is a life expectancy of perhaps 8 and a half years and the 2 million a year is insufficient for the purpose of repaving. So now who is standing with their thumbs up you know where - but the rest of us are going to have to pay the bill.
But Cornish and Vestal have nothing else to talk about, nothing about their quadrants. Only about term limits which Cornish now opposes, now that she is in the administration after being on the outs for quite some time - and do not forget that she resigned before, when she was not happy.
Vestal only has the time to rant about "doorknob protectors". Gimme a break! Gee, the other morning we were out very early and our paper was hanging on the doorknob for several hours. Wonder how many sneak thieves alerted to this?!
These two articles were ridiculous and indicative of a lack of proper work ethic by our officers. Bob Marshall, now that lightning has finally struck, or so he says, now only has the ability to rant about decals and AMR. I believe we have all gotten the message. On to something new, Bob, Please. Nausea is rising fast!
Our current UCO administration is ill, deathly so. Their protective walls are cracking and the sounds of that can be heard all over and thru the Village - and even in the world as yes, David Israel, you are not the only one with international readership, so shut up with that boast already. Who cares. The only concern we should all have is how do we fix our Village and NOT about protecting oneself from charges of incompetence and even stupidity - or worse.
"We may know with certainty that nothing belongs to us except our vices and sins. " So said Francis of Assisi and so I say to the members of UCO. Let us try to help you eliminate those sins and vices of omission and commission and let us all work for the benefit and betterment of the Village. I know that might be a difficult stretch for most of you, but try - if only to make sure that the memories of you, your "legacy" are not overwhelmingly composed of the sins you have committed against the Village during your administration. Think about it. We are here, waiting - and acting.
