OMG Water rates to increase!!!

First off I am returning for at least a little while. I stopped blogging because no one really cared about what was happening so what was the point. I had turned into a very angry self absorbed person and needed a change for a while.

Today's rant comes directly from the city of Sherwood. In your mailbox is the newest Sherwood Archer. Buried in the fold for those who scan the front and back and then pitch it where it belongs should take a look. Located right in the middle of the fold is none other than.... Council approves to raise water fees!!!! Holy waste batman!! Now you need to read it carefully, "water use increases will roll out in 2 small steps, starting July 1st monthly water rates will increase 7.5%". Jan 2012 will be the second step of 4%. That is a total of 11.5%. Now we already have the most expensive water int he state and now the city wants more!!! They later go on to say that you can control part of your bill through conservation. Most home here in Sherwood are already using the bare minimum of water. We already pay more in fees than we use water. I will be checking the City Council site to see who voted yay for this increase and make it my personal mission to get them out of there. The people cannot take much more of this. Jim Patterson you need to go, Keith Mays you need to go. Personally I would dump all of you on the City Council except our newest elected Mrs Clark. you folks slapped her in the face when you put your secretaries husband, Mr. Luman in instead of Del Clark's widow. Shame on you all. I watched the video and 2 nays from Ms Folsum and Ms Henderson, but no rebuttal from either. No discussion you just let the Mayor and the puppet master have their way with you. Folks it is time for the people to say they have had enough. make these so called servants of the public accountable. You sent one message when Krisanna Clark won her election, now lets take out the trash. In your service....

Criminal Behavior in Sherwood

Where is the outrage!!!!!!!! Dave Luman is appointed to Del's vacant seat over Krisanna Clark? Does anyone else see that this is pure favoritism at it's best? It is bad enough that Dave Luman sold Sherwood out with Sherwood Broadband, oh yeah he recused himself from the vote. Or maybe that his wife, also a city employee, has any influence as she works directly for the mayor and city manager? If you are not angry at this then you must be an absolute idiot. Robyn Folsum and Linda Henderson both voted nay to this appointment of the crook who steals from us. no we have a full house of crooks, Mr Luman must have spent all his money and wants another dip into our tax money. Shame on you mayor, but it is not all your fault. You were elected and therefore shame on everyone who voted for you. Nepotism is a wonderful thing. Too bad it will kill this beautiful city. Ms Folsum, Ms Henderson, although you voted against this appointment where is your outrage? How come your not talking to the press about this? Shame on you too!!

Dale Smith vs State Of Oregon

Folks I have been gone for a while but I just could not let this go. It seems the State is so desperate for money that they have closed down a fixture in our fair city because he hasn't paid his barbers license since 2004. This is a pure travesty of justice. Dale has been a barber in this town for more than 50 years, Hell he has cut the hair of every Police Chief, City Manager and god knows how many of our young lads got their first cut from him. He has more history on the wall of his shop than the field house. Now get this Dale is 80 yrs young, the state says he can go back to school and then re certify as a barber. This could take 18 months to do. Wow I am willing to bet that he has been a barber since before the state even had licenses. Now you all know my opinion of our City Government, I wonder if they can even speak out about this? Doubtful. Lastly I want to ask everyone to call the state and tell them your not happy. Call the city and tell them too. SHAME ON YOU OREGON!!!! This man is a veteran and a friend. We are watching!!!!!!

Election Rant

Wow it has been far too long since I visited you all. Lets catch up on a few things; 1. I will truly miss Mr Clark and his infectious personality. The City has lost a true Councilor and steward. Folks I will not tell you how to vote nor will I tell you how I voted. I just remind you that our water bills are higher than our electric bills, we have now been FORCED to swallow this cannery project, which BTW will probably be the undoing of the 17th greatest place to live. We have seen red light cameras that our police chief had to state on the ARCHER that it is for safety and not revenue generation. All I can say is PANTS ON FIRE!!!!! If the city wanted to keep anyone safe they would never have built those horrible eyesores on the corners of old town. Besides being horribly ugly they also block drivers views and are darn unsafe. Instead of red light camera's, maybe Van Cameras in our school zones. now that would be good for the safety of our children. Lastly we have Sherwood Broadband and the City Manager, both need to go. Both cost us too much money and only serve a small portion of our fair city. Remember this when casting your vote for the folks who have brought all this misuse of our hard earned dollars, and back office deals that only benefit themselves. The same folks who promised the kids a skate park and then set it up for failure so it could not happen. Shame on you all. Remember City of Sherwood, we are watching and voting. Mr manager resign resign resign, before you end up in jail or disgraced. Ta Ta

Folow up and something new

Hello fellow citizens of the forest, SO now it seems that not only has he lied but you can't even find his article on the Sherwood Gazette's web page. I guess even they don't want to print it anymore. One other thing of note, I am now going through the new Dog rules and fee schedule. Can anyone say income generation and selective enforcement? They claim it is a complaint driven fine. Wow that is their version of if we don't like you, we will claim there was a complaint and fine you. I have a friend who was hammered by the Police in Old Town for parking more than 2 hours and he was the only one to get a ticket. Even though a City Councilor was parked even longer. The City Manager and the Chief claimed it was complaint driven. I say it was illegal, unfair, and downright dirty. This is also being brought to you by the same folks that have stated in the press that the red light camera's are for income generation and then traffic safety. How much longer are we going to put up with the shifty back office business deals and lies coming out of the City Hall? Remember November is on the horizon and time for some real change. Remember Sherwood City Hall, we are watching!!!! Ta Ta

WOW Transparency from City Manager

HI fellow residents of Sherwood. By now everyone has gotten a copy of the Gazette or the Archer and saw the wonderful article written by our City Manager talking about his pay and transparency in the city, oh yeah and earning our trust ROFLMAO. I figured what the heck I will follow his link to the budget and salaries. Now if you go to page 105 of the 2010-2011 budget and scroll to the bottom of the page you will see City Manager/ City Recorder/Municipal Judge and if you look closely it says contract employees and no salary!!! Big surprise there!! so much for transparency. Sir your a liar and not even a very good one. But we will get to that in a moment. Scroll back up the page to the first entry Admin Asst III - Confidential, now who the heck is that I ask? How is anything in this city confidential? Are they hiding something? Probably, You ask us in your article to trust you, and your cronies. Not going to happen sir, in fact I and a few others are going to be on you like the sticky side of tape. you have stolen from us, cheated us, fee'd us to death. your only recourse at this point is to resign immediately and pray you can get a way clean. your mis-management of this city is borderline criminal. Your a liar and a thief. Shame on you!!! WE ARE WATCHING!!! TA TA
