DIRTY POLITICS

  Nope, not talking about the national or state or even local levels, though the dirty politics abound there. I am talking about the politics right here in Century Village and guess who is at the head of it all. Right!!! David Israel.
     His opinion to the contrary, that he has been the savior, rather than the destroyer of the Village, of its whole gestalt, this is a man who attacks one and all who might appear to threaten his dominance and reign and cares naught who comes under his batteries of nasty words.
     His latest targets? The Richlands. Full disclosure - they are friends of ours and I admire them for the hard work they do and have done for the Village. Stewart puts time and effort into the job, often riding around the Village with the CAM, looking for areas of concern, answering questions and needs of the residents and moreover, does not crow about it all day long.
    Phyllis probably has done more for the personal lives of people in this Village. She is a long time member of a board that works with the Fire Department. She knows the system back and  forth and knows therefore how to advise our people as to where to go, where to turn for help in moments of need. As VP she spent more hours in that office than anyone I know, other than David who sits there all day long, into the night, holidays and workdays doing nothing but messing around on OUR computers, on our dime, looking for mischief to be done, snooping around and allegedly threatening all who oppose him or displease him with his "ability" to find and know all about them.
     The man has no life. He has no personality other than nasty. He has no clue as to how to properly relate to people. He exaggerates his prior life duties and his accomplishments here in the Village. Yes, he has given time to us, but what has he done with that time? Even assuming he has meant well in the beginning, it appears to have devolved into a desperate campaign for him to retain his throne, his 'power', rather than how to help the Village.  
     Thus we come to his dastardly attack on the Richlands. What? Why? Now, it appears that married couples have no independence of each other. It appears that they work out of one brain, one mind, and cannot function otherwise. Do not elect a married couple, he states. Well, we are not. Stewart is already in office and Phyllis is running as an independent woman, possessing a fine and independent mind. She ran her own business in her prior life, worked hard here in the Village, and has given much time and effort way above the call of duty to the people here and guess what? She did it without checking with Stewart as to how she should or does feel or how she should act.
     David has no life. He has no true friends other than the sycophants that suck up to him for a bit of supposed power. He has his co-partner in bad decisions, Ed Black, running for Treasurer, just another road to mismanaging our funds, messing up the Village  and that is all she wrote, folks.
     Dirty politics, attacking on a nebulous and faulty premise, denigrating a person's brain power without cause and, in my opinion, definitely letting his misogyny show through. Women, evidently, need to consult with husbands before making any decision. They must consult as to how they should think or vote or talk. Well, screw you, David, but this is not the case. Welcome to the 21st century. Women work independently and have done so for lo these many a year. And by the way, remember the famous couple, one a Republican and one a Democrat, working in Washington and remaining married and golly gee, working independently of each other.
     So you have thrown David Boas under the bus, now attack Phyllis and your best VP, Stewart, bring Barbara Cornish into the melee and she adds in her nasty two cents and may I ask, Barbara, when you were in UCO and Frank hung out there the whole time you were there, or even now - are you Frank's stooge? Is that the truth of it all? Is that why you wrote your nasty addition on the poisoned blog of David?
     This is the time to make a change. Unfortunately the lack of candidates this year is most telling of an apathy, of a who cares attitude, knowing that what the hey! David will just work with Ed and gin up some 'boards' which do not exist, get 'delegates' and have them vote for him. We have seen these dry and withered zombie delegates get off the bus, out of cars, go in and vote and leave. Time and time again and we cannot show which people are involved because guess who holds these papers and info tighter than Trump holds on to unwilling women?!
     The David slate? Feh!!! Just walk around the Village and notice the repairs to the sidewalks and now the perimeter road with a large section dug up and repaved. Ooops!!!! Thought this was supposed to last 30 years! Hmmm, as stable as the rest of his broken promises. So let us all wake up and do ourselves a favor. Vote the right way. 
      Marcia has given many years and much effort to this Village and so has Jack Adams. I just do not now if there is a realistic possibility to Jack's idea and wish to insure that we do not split the vote. VP - PHYLLIS!!! If a second one is wished for then David Boas, hoping he has learned how fickle David Israel is, especially if you do not give him what he wants. Treasurer - oohh, I shudder at the thought of Ed there , so close to the money again. He led us with his buddy into bankruptcy once before, has wasted our money in other ways , so please, vote for Ed Grossman who has spent years fighting the establishment of David Israel, taken a great deal of undeserved abuse and who knows his stuff.
     The Village needs this change. We need to retire those who do not have the best interests of the Village at heart and if you need more concrete proof of that - we are told that Atlantic is halfway there on its deadline of installation. Really? Could have fooled me. Anyone notice trucks, or flags for digging, or surveyors for it, or plans or any damn thing? I thought not. Yet another debacle from the hands of David. We are not in safe hands with him. Wonder what will happen when Comcast contract is over and Atlantic is nowhere around. Guess we will all have to gather around the radio once more. Ahh, nostalgia.
    Vote the right slate, not the old stale one.
