Milian's Vaudeville Team

By now everyone has received in their mail the notice of the new show in Milan, The Milan Vaudeville Team starring Williams and May. After insulting the Milan Veterans they now try a juggling act to cover up their “anonymous” letter instigated by them, and having one of their puppets write it. They try to blame the insults to our veterans on the Republican Members of the Town Board where one member is a veteran and another is still serving in the National Reserves. How much time has Mr. Williams spent in defense of our country? Has Mrs. May learned the words to the Pledge of Allegiance yet? She has had a lot of trouble saying it.

The second part of their act they have taken it to Albany in the form of a letter to the Office of the State Comptroller. The amusing thing about the letter, it lists all the shortcomings of the previous administration of Williams and Van Taldage. At the February budget meeting Williams did great job juggling with the figures, half the time not knowing where they were coming from. Where ever these vaudeville stars learned their juggling they should get a refund and go to Clown College as they keep dropping the ball.

New Low for Williams and May

Ex-Boss Williams and his sidekick Squeaky May have entered the New Year by displaying a new low. Not only are they not satisfied to continuously disrupt the proceeding of the town government with their lists of amendments, but now they feel they must attack the great tradition of West Point Military Academy.

They have circulated an e-mail to their cronies accusing Councilman David Byrne of undemocratic behavior as he and other members of the Town Board refused to entertain their disruptive immature behavior. They said that Mr. Byrne had forgotten what he had learned at West Point; Duty, Honor and Country and that he should resign his position on the Board. When it comes to Duty, Honor and Country, Mr. Williams or Mrs. May are in no position to question Councilperson Byrne on his duty and honor to his country. How much Duty and Honor have either of them shown to the United States? Have either of them been to Iraq and put their lives on the line for their country? Councilperson Byrne did it twice.
So shut you pair of sniveling babies and remember who it was that got Milan into its financial mess, Williams, Talmage, May and Clark. If you can’t serve on Board as responsible representatives of the citizens you should resign

Another Solution by Williams

As we all know Milan’s finances are in deep doo doo thanks to the squandering of our money by the previous administration. Now ex-defacto supervisor Williams and his trusty side-kick Squeaky have come up with a solution, “Live with it Milan”. Last year Williams, Talmage, Clark and May had no problem squandering $100,000 on lawyers and court cases which they lost.
How Williams and Squeaky May can continue to sit on the Town Board after what they did to the town is unconscionable and yet they do and try everything to disrupt the proceedings.After twice loosing the case on the Floating Light Industrial Zone, the Town is hoping to appeal it again; problem, no money. Williams claimed he could get the money from outside sources, but nothing has happened yet. The latest idea was a door to door collection from the people of Milan; in case they are not paying enough in taxes. That should go over big

Williams has a Solution

“We ain’t seen nothing yet”, We all know about the financial problems facing Milan and its citizens. We are suffering with seven lawsuits on our plate, lawsuits generated by Ross Williams, Squeaky May and the rest of the Gang of Four. There is no apology no sign of regret by Williams and May for the mess they have perpetrated on the town and the people of Milan.

The town is appealing the Red Wing court case which it has twice lost because of Williams’ arrogance. The town is again appealing the decision after Williams assured the board that he was going to get the money from other sources to pay for the appeal. Now it seems that the town has to come up with the money for the appeal and Williams once again true to form reneged on his promise.

Let us enjoy the warm days of summer while we can, but in a few months we will be back in winter with the snow flying. The problem facing us this year there is there is no money for snow removal in the budget, William and May took care of that. Last year we all knew price of oil was going up and the Highway Department depends on oil for their trucks and road repair, Williams, May &Co. cut the highway budget by 23% and transferred $70.000 from the highway budget to the general fund to pay for their lawsuits. That is OK with Williams he does not have to worry about snow removal because he lives on a county road.

Williams came up with a solution to the highway problem, remove the money from the highway dept’s other budget to pay for the snow removal. The highway dept’s other budget is their payroll; his solution is to lay off highway personnel. We would have snow plows ready to roll but no one to drive them. Williams solves the problem.

Williams and May Responds

In response to the quarterly report by Supervisor Barrett and Councilpersons Byrne and Egan on Milan’s financial position; the Democratic opposition has attempted to defuse the facts of the report in a June 9th letter to the public. The letter portrayed the genius of the Milan Democratic chairman, Cecil Bill Demay, the man behind the camera. It had all the Bill May qualities of not getting anything right and denying the facts in an attempt to cover the financial blunders of the previous administration under the leadership of Ross Williams supported by Squeaky May. These two still sit on the board and are doing everything possible to perpetuate their financial blunders of last year.
Last year Williams and May spent Milan’s money on lawyers while taking it away from the highway department. They put through an unworkable budget and voted it in two days after the election hoping to straddle the new administration with their mistakes.
The town has seven lawsuits on its hands all due to Williams and May’s blunders last year.
These two still sit on the board and try to explain their behavior as not being able to anticipate what lay in store for Milan in the coming year. They are the ones that created the present financial disaster and now they say the “must learn to live within its means”.
Maybe they could tell how this can be accomplished when they left no money for bridge repairs (we have to float a bond), no money for snow removal, no money for the pending lawsuits and the list goes on.
There is only one decent thing they can do, resign from the board and apologize to the people of Milan for the disaster they have created.

Resign Williams and May

We have all received a letter from our newly elected officials to the Town Board explaining the financial mess the town is facing due to the mismanagement of our finances and the pompous attitude of the previous administration. Supervisor Barrett and Councilpersons Egan and Byrne have done and excellent job in presenting the financial desaster they inherited from Talmage, Williams and the rest of that bunch.
The people of Milan must be questioning the audacity and insolence of Williams and Squaky May to continue to sit on that board after the disaster they created. Not only do they continue to sit, but Squaky insists on constantly disrupting the proceedings while Cecil Bill DeMay records her girations on camera.
Have some shame Williams and May resign from the board, and apologize to the people of Milan for the damage you have done to the town..

Williams & Co. does it again

Former Boss Williams and Squeaky May, the holdovers from the last regime of Team Talmage has done it again; another lawsuit on the town. Dyal Carting is suing the town of Milan for discrimination in awarding the Transfer Station contract to Royal Carting.
Milan in its almost 200 years of existence has rarely seen a lawsuit. In the two years of Williams, Talmage and Co. the town has been faced with six lawsuits including one generated by one of our town justices, Frank Christensen.
The town has spent close to $200,000 on legal fees and we don’t have the money to fix the bridges, we have to float a bond.
Thanks Williams and May; you are the ones that want to run the town. In the two years you had control of the Board you have sent the town to the verge of bankruptcy. You had no trouble dishing out money to the lawyers but little for the Highway Department, the people we depend on to maintain our roads.
Now you want to spend more money on lawyers, money the town does not have, you want to contest the lawsuits the town has lost twice.
