A STAR BARD IS BORN

Broadway has home to the Lynn Auditorium or at least a couple floors above it. Out front orchestrating the whole photo op was RICK singing the praises of the MARSHALL BOND vote. Flashes were flying and shutters were closing. Almost all of the candidates for office for both the school committee and city council were circling around a poster board that had a nice picture with a nice rally cry. Most of the candidates signed the pledge and the newspaper was there to record their glory.

I wasn't in the picture and I didn't sign the pledge. Do I support the building of a new MARSHALL? heck yeah, all of the CITY COUNCILMEN were echoing how it was a no brainier and bestowing heaps of praise on the school committee and DR. LATHAM. You see though, I DON'T support this particular plan.

Now I'm too much a gentleman (I must be, I've had four wives) to come out and call CITY TREASURER RICHARD FORTUCCI a liar, plus I don't want sued. The fact remains that after attending the last MARSHALL meeting, I tried to get the PROJECT MANAGER to say just exactly we were going to have to BOND for 35 or 90 million dollars. They  were PRETTY good at being shifty enough not to give me an answer. Go to lynnhappens. com, I'm sure they got it on tape. will

So after the meeting I corner FORTUCCI who has been sitting on the building committee from the beginning and pressed him for an answer. Well he hemmed and he hauled but he finally said we would have to BOND for 35 MILLION DOLLARS. You see he tells me, we had this training. It will be PAY AS WE GO. The only thing is nobody knows exactly where we are going.

Well I goes to the city council meeting tonight and ......wait for it......wait for it...I find out we are BONDING for NINETY TWO MILLION DOLLARS. Imagine my surprise (not really but insert fake gasp). It seems our GO has done gone up and WENT. So if I was misinformed or mislead about something so simple and direct as to the extent of our OBLIGATION what makes you think we can trust them on say the degree of CONTAMINATION, the ability of the soil to support the building so we don't have a CLASSICAL II, or the safety of the proximity of the trains.

I guess it comes down to who you gonna believe - all those politicians smiling for the camera or some poor disabled poet whose only friend seems to be COUNCILOR-AT-LARGE CANDIDATE KATERINA. Well when it all comes to fruition, we are either gonna look like freaking geniuses or fools. No wait, you guys are the ones being played for fools. You see, I got nothing  so I got nothing to lose. The children of LYNN, they got everything to lose.

So what is the plan going forward after say the BOND say FAILS and it probably will. We need to start thinking about either alternative funding or another bond vote with the proper PR to sell this thing.

MAYBE THEY WILL HIRE ME!

I have always found honesty works or......

there still may be that WOTRING WING thing.
