I have been sitting at home reading all these letters from people who are very unhappy. Why, you ask? Well it seems that our politicians that we all voted for gave themselves a raise. Let me ask you: Did you really think they would turn it down? After all, they work so hard for us. RIGHT! What a laugh. Our local crooks – oops, wrong key – I mean “politicians” voted to raise our taxes a couple of years back. I wanna’ thank them for that. I wasn’t sure what to do with the $100 more I had to pay on my house. I’m glad I voted for one of them – yea, right again.

I’m sure glad they could help. They say that there bringing jobs in. Well, I’d like to see them support a family on minimum wage jobs like they brought in. Wow, Uniontown’s all dressed up for the “King of the Hill.” I’ll say this: It does look good, but we can’t eat it, can we?

All this talk of higher taxes and overpaid crooks – oops, I mean politicians – and still no phone records from what’s his name? Oh, yes, Larry Roberts.

I just hope we all remember our military. They need our prayers and maybe someday we can have politicians that aren’t in it for themselves and only themselves. It sure makes voting worthwhile, doesn’t it? I think I’ll stay home this time, One more thing: would somebody please, please paint those FACT buses? Thank you.
