Your State Tax Dollars at Work

YOUR STATE TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

February 22, 2008

There are those that hate this newspaper and that is their right. In fact, that is what is so neat in the United States, you have the right to your opinion.

There are those that dislike our existence (namely those that have supported the ongoing corruption in Washington County, those that are so high brow that they don’t understand how to win those fights, or those that just like to dislike.

Again, that is cool. It is the way of things.

But one thing we are not is the Weekly World News. Secondly we strive to print the truth to the best of our ability. Here is what someone from a legislative computer put on Wikipedia about this newspaper:

Do we have spelling and grammer errors? Yes. Do we print rumors that suit our view: Nope. We actually printed for example ten reasons to vote for John Pettit. Why? Because it was in the interest of fariness. But we did everything in our power to defeat him. Why because this county could not win the war on drugs without his defeat. The corruption had become too deep.

We have made a decision to NEVER hide behind the idea of non-bias. We are human and hence have bias. We admit it proudly instead and attempt to bring you the reasons for our bias. We spend hours researching in the dark corners of this county’s past and present to find the truth about candidates, elected officials and insiders.

But even in the wake of the defeat of John Pettit, someone believes that we are not relevant. That we are not credible.
It probably does not come as a surprise that the likely culprit was a supporter of John Pettit.

As we have written in Secrets, we will not print their name without absolute proof, but they know who they are.

Are we angry? No not really, because we expect this behavior from the defenders of corruption.

Consider that while Pettit allegedly took girls from the prison for sex, they stood by and cheered him.

While Pettit used snitches to convict very possibly innocent people, they stood by and cheered it.

While John Pettit did nothing about the drug trade that was ruining lives on the street and was instead allegedly taking girls and informants to crack houses (as reported by the Tribune-Review), they stood by and cheered him.

While the FBI bravely investigated Pettit and we were the FIRST to report it, we were ridiculded and laughed at by this same men and they continued to praise Pettit.

While he failed to pay his taxes and thumbed his nose at the world, they stood by and cheered him.

While young women were allegedly forced into relationships with him, they went to his events, shook his hand, patted him on the back and hoped for his blessing.

You get the point. These same people ridiculed this newspaper and myself. They said we were lying or as this person has written using your TAX DOLLARS that we are as credible and relevant as the Weekly World News.

In case you did not know, the Weekly World News used to write about Aliens invading Moscow, Hitler was alive and living in Topeka and so on.

Which newspaper wrote first about Pettit getting a passport?

Which Newspaper knew that he was headed to New Zealand?

In addition, we have informed the public about the misuse of their tax dollars by the TIF in South Strabane (thanks to the brave assistance of CATIF)

We were the first to report the Friendly Folks scandal were hundreds of seniors were defrauded by Friendly Folks tours and were never going to be prosecuted. We brought it to light and fought to make sure that justice was done.

Maybe this writer should reveal him or herself from their office in Harrisburg and tell these seniors that we were not credible.

Yes these are fighting words. As anyone that reads this paper knows, I am a fighter. I understand criticism. I understand complaints.

I don’t understand USING MY TAX DOLLARS TO DO IT.

Yes, my and yours was used by these people for their political attacks.

But is it surprising from the forces that have taken over this county for decades? Is this surprising from Democratic party members that actually supported Pettit and the corruption of this county.
