Mayor gets response in rhyme

Posted: Tuesday, April 18, 2006

To John Williams, borough mayor, I have a question: Who will vote for you at the next election?

A domestic terrorist; I am not. I’m a domestic patriot who cannot be bought.

I respect our seniors and the good lessons they’ve taught, to never spend more money than I’ve actually got.

Veterans, freedom to voice our opinions they have bought, so will added tax burden be the reward for so many who have fought?

While I do know borough debt is not all the mayor’s fault, labeling people who care will just be for naught.

Please listen to the voters wishes from the last election, and cut borough spending in the right directions.

I’ve sat in assembly meetings now for many a year, before your election, rarely did you ever appear.

None of our ACT-ors are paid any fee. In fact, Mr. Mayor, we all do it for free.

So don’t condemn us for wasting borough time, just because we care. If future generations, have to deal with our major debts, will that be fair?

I will continue to ACT, a very good watch dog I’ll be.

So you can put that very fact in the file you are keeping on me.

No new taxes is still what is needed. The will of the people must be heeded.
