Predictions … In the not too distant future…

Knowledgeable citizens will distrust the next hospital-controlled mayor, because his, and the city council’s goal will be Marshall's historical destruction.

What’s On the TV, Ma?

Three years ago I said goodbye to my TV. On my pet rocks grave, I don't regret it for a minute.

It started when I opened the cable company's monthly bill. The crooks had added another five bucks.

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.’

Don’t Elect Another Oaklawn Mayor For Marshall

Letter to Editor:

Hello Friends:
The campaign is going well and we are making headway, getting some good articles in local papers and still meeting folks face to face.

I am now asking Marshall voters to write letters to the Editor of the Ad-Visor/Chronicle, and the Enquirer, supporting their decision to vote for Mason for mayor.

Oaklawn is “key” to Marshall Economy?

This “Curate‘s Egg“ threatens to close?

Oaklawn Hospital always seems to be able to conjure up supporters who can be summoned at a moments notice. The latest expert to join their ranks is the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research.

Political Forum in Marshall
The premise in the Ad-Visor announcement for the forum of Sept 20, 2010, appears to be to “Discover the views of local candidates for future business initiatives.”

It is not the purview of the mayor or city council to promote business initiatives.

YOUR Vote Alone, Isn’t Enough. . .

In the upcoming Marshall elections, your vote alone won’t be enough to change city government.
Here’s why:

In the past four elections, Oaklawn Hospital has had just over 800 votes from their supporters.

Out with Oaklawn sycophants
Toss them out, by their pants

The property will get a zoning of R-3 and the intended use, as per earlier Oaklawn announcement, will be to have a house moved to the property to make room for further Oaklawn expansion.

Bruce Smith, Oaklawn’s mayor of Marshall says he won’t run for re-election. He has served Oaklawn for two terms and must realize that his re-election for another term would not be assured.
