"The Grant Fairy" doesn't stop here

Remember back in the last mayoral race when Schneider claimed we couldn't use a "grant fairy" to improve our city. I guess he meant that.

The following website we e-mailed to me yesterday. It lists all the cities asking for help in the federal stimulus program. No listing of a request for Overland.

Pine Lawn asked for funds. Wellston asked for money. Florissant, too. Even rich Clayton has many requests in the hopper. But zero, nada, zilch, bupkus for Overland.

This, in light that the Federal government is moving jobs OUT of Overland. Overland was founded as city for people on their way somewhere else. I guess that image can continue.

Just when you think Overland has turned a new corner we see the same dishonest and ILLEGAL political Tactics. Whether it was Phil Paul Directly (which I doubt) or some of his supporters, the bottom like is that election laws have once again been broken with a last minute dishonest mailing that violates election laws by not properly identifying who paid for it.

The only way to try to end these dishonorable and IMHO un-American tactics is to not reward them. If you were on the fence when it comes the the Ward 1 Council Election let these dishonorable tactics be a lesson to you. Don't return power to the people who would do such things. Vote to Re-Elect Eddie Cuminale and help keep these criminals away from city hall.
