The Tale of the Two Johns
I enjoy watching Jay Leno especially the 'Headlines' part of his show where you see the wackiest things people send in. You ask yourself 'what were they thinking'?!Well I had one of those moments when a reader forwarded me two different mail pieces for the recent 'campaign' for the two Trappe Republican Committee positions. When I saw the mailer with the tag line the 'Two Johns'' and thought what the hell were they thinking about?!
The next thing I said was who in their right mind spends a small fortune for a committee position? As they say in the south ... that dog don't hunt.
So what is it? Is it the ego maniacs on Trappe Council (the self proclaimed 'Trusted Team') and if so what is Fred Schuetz (retired) and the other members of the 'Trusted Team' most of which make their living in the housing industry (or have a spouse in local goverment - Fred whose wife works at the Montco courthouse and Lou DiPrete whose wife works in Limerick and was part of that whole mess with David Kane) and benefit from deals such as Fred Schuetz's continuous push to relocate the Collegeville-Trappe compost site for no good reason. This will benefit a developer with land adjacent to the compost site and will benefit a property owner in Trappe wherein the land owned is a junkyard and environmental clean-up nightmare. More on this later.
What bothers me most are these people who make a living from or 'retire' to a goverment position only to suck money out of our pockets. For the first time in our history in this country more people are employed by the goverment then working in the private sector.
Time to wake up folks ... start in your backyard with the Trusted Team.

Trusted Team Not So Trusted
Well the Trappe Republicans have spoken and they have said that the Trusted Team cannot be Trusted. Jack Minster and Stu Strauss ran for the positions for the Republican Commitee representatives in Trappe as they beat the team that Fred Schuetz and the Trusted Team endorsed in a BIG way.
And I mean in a BIG way with lots of money and backing that resulted in a very professional campaign that was backed by more than Trappe folks. We smell Bob Kerns and Mike Vereb in this one as we did for the campaign Terry Stagliano. We will connect the dots later for all of this but for now please allow me to share the thoughts of a true Republican, Jack Minster. This e-mail was shared with us by one of our readers.
Dear Neighbors,
Tonight, Stu Strauss and I won the positions of Trappe Republican Committeepersons. One aspect of the election process I have always found vexing is how long it takes for local results to filter down. We learned it ourselves only ninety minutes ago and wanted to share the news immediately with those who gave me your email addresses during the campaign. More efficient communication with Trappe Republicans is one of our main objectives.
But most important to us are your voting requirements. If you have the type of professional or personal schedule that may find you traveling or otherwise disposed during election weeks, why chance it? Call us, we will run you out an absentee ballot. If you know someone who needs to get registered, we will help. The number of conservative Republicans voting for conservative Republicans absolutely must improve. Incidentally this year's Primary Election turnout in Trappe exceeded that of last year, which thrilled me more than this win.
Special thanks to those who came out and voted today, and please know that Stu and I will give you our best effort. Performance feedback on us, as well as all thoughts pertaining to Trappe GOP and local government truly is readily encouraged.
Yours truly,
Jack Minster
Wow, we are impressed with somone who has not even been on the job a day and reaches out like this. Someone who is a true Republican wanting to do good for the party.
John Pelosi deserved to lose as he did not represent the Republican party in Trappe ... hell he didn't even put out signs for the endorsed candidiates. And John Keleman ... well let us just say this is the second time he ran out of Trappe acting as though his ass was on fire! Good riddance!
