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..
