TIME TO WAKE UP BENSALEM!!
It
makes me laugh, when I get ignorant comments from not only the
naysayers, but also Haman, Nabal, and His Majesty's court, when
confronted with their sins. I especially love the statements, made by
others who have no clue what is going on, but try to make "His Majesty"
out to be something he isn't: a just and honorable man who deserves to
continue being mayor. I have news for all of you you need to WAKE UP,
and do so now, before you see in the papers that the town has gone
completely bankrupt like Harrisburg and Stockton, CA.
One of the
claims I get as to "His Majesty's" fitness for the job, is that the town
of Bensalem made the "top 100 best places to live in", (Which by the
way is the ONLY thing they can say right now!), to which I respond,
"Based on what??" That we have a casino?? PLEASE!! I looked at that
list, and found so many negative comments to this it was pathetic, and
if MONEY magazine really knew what goes on here, it NEVER would have
been printed on there!! In reality, it's a Joey D creation, and it's all
based on the propaganda put out in his quarterly newsletter. In case
you're wondering, check it out online at the township's website. It will
really open your eyes, as to the propaganda he puts on there. Then of
course, there is the TD Bank Amphitheater, but even that has its issues.
In particular, now it's charging admission for its concerts, which I can
bet is not bringing in enough $$$ to cover the township's deficit. The
biggest issue that this writer and many others have with this, is that
since when does government need to entertain its citizens?? In Roman
times, there was a period of corruption, and lack of fiscal
responsibility on the part of the emperor and his staff, that the
population of the empire was numbed to the persecution of Christians and
their killings. So much so, that it became known as a time of "breads
and circuses"! Sound familiar anyone??
Here's the reality of what
is going on within Bensalem, so EVERYONE knows: First, we have Ghost
Employees! Theft! Absentee School Board Members! Despite all of this,
the Bensalem School District goes about their business as if the
taxpayers don't matter. Some examples of this, are that their first
discussion on the day that the individuals were arrested for theft, was
to approve looking into spending millions to renovate the high school, a
project that will cost the taxpayers increased property taxes for years
to come!! Then, rather than reassign staff they hire a temporary
principal at the cost of $700/day! Where is the accountability of the
Superintendent and the School Board? We need to make the Bensalem School
District accountable to the Bensalem Taxpayers!
As if that wasn't
enough, we have a Public Safety Director, who FRAUDULENTLY obtained a
government grant to establish a paid fire company in violation of
township ordinances. Then he maligned, slandered, and defamed Union Fire
Company, by suspending operations on two different occasions,
attempting to shut it down permanently, which FAILED, harassing its
former chiefs, and had a former chief's son, (An Assistant Chief)
FALSELY arrested on charges of workmen's compensation insurance fraud.
All of which he was acquitted of! Now, this same Public Safety Director,
as well as "His Majesty", and court (Council) are now facing a major
lawsuit filed by the former chief and his son!!
Finally, we have a
township government (Mayor, council, and police) that have a MAJOR
spending problem. In the past THREE years, we have had budget deficits
totaling over $20 million dollars, and their method of solving it? Dip
into the township's reserve fund!! Another example of their spending
excess is the $5 million dollar so-called training center on Street Road
along with the equally expensive water tower next to it. We also have
the "highway improvements" along Galloway and Richelieu Roads that we
have yet to be compensated by the state on, plus how are we going to
cover the spending on a fire department that was founded ILLEGALLY!! At
the rate these officials are spending, this fund will be gone within
less than 10 years, and Bensalem will wind up BROKE!! All because we let
officials in charge go on a spending spree, and do this with OUR money.
DOES THIS SOUND QUALIFIED TO YOU??
