CraCKS
Uncle Eddie
So the questions that I wanted answered that were not,are.....
Who owns the property referenced in the phone call?
Did the request get expedited because of their employment with the city?
and give a timeline of that case and another one to prove the point.
Dental Clininc(dentax)

Nice set of stats listed on the right, once again it tells me everything but what I wanted to know...
What is their total budget?
How much does this cost each taxpayer that actually pays income tax?
How is the clinic funded?
But my experience with the dentist, is like this,it is about $200 per visit. That is if nothing is wrong.
So the place has about 10,000 visits at a minimum of $200
Or Let's break it down based on figures from the stats and average costs from http://www.bracesinfo.com/dentalcosts/
Diagnostics(Xrays?) 8671 x $100= $867,100
Preventive 7922 x $50= $396,100
Restorative 6220 x $600=$3,732,000
Root Canal 637 x $376= $239,512
Oral Surgery 3772 x $800= $3,017,600
Orthodontic 207 x $4712= $975,384
Total services $9,227,696
Now we all know there is no way that we the taxpayers would support such an extreme cost. But we do not know what the cost is to you and me because that is a dirty little secret and this is a feel good story about how much good this free(?) clinic is providing. I cant imagine that it would cost that much to support this dental clinic but again we don't know. Do the dentists volunteer? So many questions....
So while you pay your way to the dentist through insurance or out of your own pocket, you are also paying for another's dental work to the tune of about $1000 per patient per year.
Oh and I am sure the income guidelines will go up as the minimum wage goes up...I could go on but this stuff just makes my blood boil.
Oh yes page 4D
Kudos to the H-W Photo Steve Bohnestedt
I don't know where he found Scyler Engel running but that was much better than the recipes and the farmer's wife on the back page. Guys no wedding ring on that finger either...
That's hot and I hear she is smart too, but who cares?

What the fuck kind of news story is the crack one anyway? One person call to complain and we get a fucking story on the top front of the City/County page to blow smoke up our collective asses. the ext thing you know they'll print pictures of city employees attending continuing education on our dime.
Fucking Joke!
Are you saying the paper should not clarify a question asked of the city?
Fucking Joke!
What you need to understand is that the public is very skeptical and even the appearance of impropriety must be checked. That is why we have freedom of the press. I thought the story did not go deep enough. But you obviously think otherwise. Thanks for the comment Mr Beebee. By the way how much are you and your wife soaking up in payroll these days? And how is your uncle Kenny Cantrell?
look at todays' whig
no fucking oversight what so fucking ever !
The wasted money makes puke shoot out of my goddamn mouth !
Mr wig
Maybe I wasn't clear. We are in agreement. I too believe the article did not go deep enough. They should have listed the property owner.
The author interviewed the administrators of the program who assured the taxpayers that they are doing a hell of a job. How much trouble would it have been to ask for one of their "lists" and find out some info from the other side.
I'm saying the Whig went out of their way to defend something that goes on all the time. In addition, there are many more inefficiencies and waste, fraud and abuse that occurs at City Hall that deserves a mention in their piece of shit paper. Your example of multiple family members who are related to someone with hiring power is just all too common.
The article was weak kneed and the many many questions of city hiring and do nothing jobs should be clarified.
BTW, I like your blog.

I could not agree more with you . Why is it that Ed and Doug and now rodney don't ask the real questions ?
Why must we get fluff every day ? I now want to cancel my online subscription .
The whig lost the ONLY writer that would ask real questions , when Bob went to WGEM .
Mr wig
While you're flattening out that piece of shit afternoon daily to wrap your fish in, tell me what you think about the "wellness" program the QFD took two years to get going. Why do you think that might be? If it's such a good god damned thing and all his guys will pass it, why didn't they fucking do it two years ago?
Hey, the fire chief is the son in law of former long time alderman and current $60k+ a year double dippin Grussy. Thanks for watching our tax dollars Springer.
Thanks for watching our tax dollars Springer.
I know what you mean the crap that goes down at city hall makes my blood boil and I just do not understand why they get elected and then just let the crap keep going on. I just wish for once we could elect someone that does not have a Chuck or Verne affiliation. Hey, nice guys but the cronyism is beyond the pale.
Is Tookie on the Gough payroll? Give me a break.
take a look at nice interesting blog -
