A QUESTION OF HONESTY

     Or should I say it is better understood as questionable honesty? When a presumed leader loses touch with the wishes and understandings of the electorate, when they begin to doubt his honesty and cannot place their trust in him, well, that is a bad situation.
     We now have a "leader' in the White House whom we cannot trust any longer. He appears to be concentrating on a frantic attempt to leave a "legacy" (sound familiar?), and is even devoting more of his time to planning his post term life, how he can remain in the public eye and influence others. Well quite frankly, I do not care about his post presidency life for he is screwing up this life right now.
     This is a President who has reverted to the old canards of "warmongers", "money interests", "foreign influences" when referring to the opposition of many people here in the USA to this deal with Iran. Even his own Secretary of the Treasury says or rather admits that Iran is a terrorist sponsoring nation and can and most probably will get worse with the billions of dollars we are so kindly going to return to it. So no, I do not trust this President.
     Nor do I trust the current President of UCO. He lies. That is a fact and that is a simple yet profound statement. He lies by omission and by commission. Both are not good traits in a presumed leader, especially one who has control over a budget of close to eight million dollars and growing annually. Nor is it a good idea for this presumed leader to have as First Buddy a man who also lies, who has not received the trust of the electorate, who has his nasty little fingers in almost every pie of UCO and who then excuses a grievous error by saying, "Oh, so sorry, but I am such a busy man dealing with UCO matters that this kind of slipped through" - in so many words. Well, excuse me, but the slip was a horrible contract that he verbally supported whole hog in the DA.
      So here are some issues with honesty that I have - we all have - with David Israel and buddies.
     He lies about his expertise.
     He lies about the true ongoings with personnel in UCO.
     He throws temper tantrums.
     He presents a rude and nasty public face to opponents - even if they are part of his administration.
     He is a megalomaniac with paranoid tendencies.
     He lies re the necessity of having a CAM aboard to help negotiate contracts, to oversee smaller projects where an outside project manager is not required. This is common sense, good thinking, whether required by law or not.
     He lies about the movements of our money, our funds, as they get transferred from one purpose to another.
     He engages in cloudy accounting principles.
     He and his cohorts subvert the system, the process and procedure which is supposed to be there, which is supposed to insure an orderly progress of a contract from proposed idea to signed contract.
    He has built up a dishonest and stacked administration with replicating the members of committees, until we have identical committees with an additional face or two added in, thus precluding any opposition to his plans.
     We have suppression of all civil rights of the electorate, with dictatorial control over media - sound familiar as we look into historical dictators?
     He is a liar as he states that we need volunteers, want volunteers, welcome volunteers, yet does not accept a majority of those who apply and then throws others under the bus as his imperial whims desire.
     He is a liar when he states that he is working for our benefit even as he is not, as he uses incompetent and non knowledgeable people to negotiate contracts, avoid the safety steps built into this process and then has ignorant people run the whole shebang.
     He demands complete obeisance to his whims and wishes without taking into account the true needs of the electorate and the Village.
     So.... answer me this, Mr. Israel.
     Who will oversee the projects that Herle was in the midst of solidifying and who will oversee their work in progress even as the contract was signed?
     Where will we get the expertise we need or will you then ignore that need as you did in the five million dollar fiasco of the road paving?
     When will you go to school and learn the true meaning of words such as emergency. The perimeter roads and walkways have been crap since they were supposedly redone so what is the emergency and what is the emergency of the restriping as they too were in an emergency situation almost instantly as they sank into the not yet ready roads?
     Where is the CAM in  all this and how can you proceed without one?And no, being president of the Italian American club does not make one capable of this. Pulling together  a party or pulling a ticket out of a hat for a prize are not pre qualifications for a job of this type.
    When will you realize that we are all so tired, so very tired, of the shenanigans that take place in UCO, of your contempt for the intelligence of the electorate, of your complete disregard for them, of your complete disregard of all proper process and procedure, of all necessities of good government. 
     By all measures of good administration and good government, you should resign but if you cannot bring yourself to do the right thing then we will help you along by continuing to point out your deficiencies and the necessity of going away - ASAP!!! TERM LIMIT. TERM LIMITS.
     When will you try at least to emulate the actions of a true good and honest leader when he recognizes when he is at sea and needs expert help? When already? Do something good for once in your life here at UCO. While you remain in office - GET HELP!
