[StBernard] Blighted List

[Westley Annis]

Am I the only one who smells a political rat?

I say, if we want the parish cleaned up, the Parish Council building is the
best place to start.  God help them come election time...

- "These are

money there!.

your

When

> Anyway, like I was saying, I want to see Mr Hunnicutt today, but, had

blasted list.

>  How dare Mr. Hunnicutt refuse to see people today - - he is supposed

publicly chastise Mr.

> today, has only broadend the gap .

> I know my plea will fall on deaf ears - - who cares about me - -joe 

> citizen taxpayer - -just keeping sending in those $'s and WE love ya! 

> - - Just don;t ask us to do anyhting that might help, or, even make sense.

> Well, I've had it - after today, if there was any inkling remaining to

> Good luck to all.  See ya later. I'm outta here!
