"SOFTBALL GAME" CANCELLED!

It is raining pretty hard this morning, but that is not the reason the "Softball Game" on the Mayor's radio show was cancelled. Police Chief Don Denison was due to show up this morning. Somehow the "wires got crossed" and Don will be on a later show. Maybe. Meanwhile, we get to hear chuckles and happy thoughts about the Toledo Scarecrow Festival. The Mayor was probably hoping to lob some low pitches to the Chief about what a great job he was doing, how wonderful the Challenge Camp was this year, and all the hard work the Chief had performed for the City, and thank you very much. Tax-paying citizens, however, would have liked to hear some "Hardball" questions about the 1033 program, the FEMA Emergency Plan, the Registration of "Denison Enterprises, the fund transfers from the Explorer Scout program to transport surplus equipment, the SWAT team Training Facility in Harlan, and maybe even the secret "Explorer Bank Account" that nobody wants to talk about. No one can accuse the Chief of not being dedicated. He puts in long hours. He really wants to help the kids. What we question, and what we would like to see the Mayor and the majority of the City Council question is the "slushiness" of the Chief's assorted financial operations. So how about it City Council? Anyone want to bring these up? Let's "PLAY BALL!"
