Pinocchio Talmage

In Supervisor Talmage’s abdication address he told more lies than Pinocchio. It is understandable that in naming his successor, Boss Williams, that he give some positive recognition to Boss, but was it necessary to stoop to the same low lying level we are used to hearing from Boss?

We can feel sure that Talmage is not stepping down under his own volition that he was motivated by Boss Williams and Squeaky May. The Supervisor’s job was the only income Talmage has, so he was not about to walk away from it. Williams has been itching for the job this past two years.

We wonder who is Larry Steel and Steve Siegel and what have they done for the town. By saying that they would carry on the values of his administration is not something Milan has to look forward to. When we consider the money his administration has squandered and has nothing to show for it except loosing a law suit, and his monthly bookkeeping blunders, it is not something we want in our future.

Whatever little dignity Talmage had left, he lost it in his appraisal of the Republican ticked. He is in no position to judge anyone’s track record when we consider his own and the rest of the gang of four. What track record has Steel and Siegel? The Republican Party and Milan United have gone on record that they do not want mining in Milan. Talmage knows that, yet he says they are an affiliate of the mining industry. He says that the Republican candidates are closely tied to real estate developers. He knows the candidates and he knows that none of them are associated with developers. Another lie is saying the Republican candidates are opposed to wetlands protection. The Republican Party has gone on record as being in favor of wetlands protection, but not by taking away the rights of the Milan taxpayers.
Talmage lies like Boss Williams and Pinocchio. When they lie, Pinocchio’s nose grows longer and Boss Williams’ sneer gets bigger
