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.
