Brown County turns Mo' Town

Ding Dong! The Queen is dead. Which old Queen? The wicked Queen! Ding Dong! The Wicked Queen is dead.

Carol Kelso a "wicked queen?" That's how one Brown County super phrased it. Hardly how I think of the "Taxpayer's tax slayer," but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say. That super needs glasses, a chill pill and a one way ticket out of town.

Kelso's dead. That's wat I said. Curtis Mayfield's Motown sound is what I hear coming. The theme from "Shaft". Motown - that's what Brown County will be without Executive Kelso, with all the public worker unions chanting "Mo', mo', mo'!" And who get's the shaft?" The taxpayers. It may be a long time before we see responsible budgets and lower taxes in Brown County again.

The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen! Kelso's successor seem's bound to be a king. We must watch to whom the hideous spending monkeys swarm. Whoever Diamond Jim endorses, that's our nemesis. That is who we vote against.

But who do we vote FOR? I see no friends of the Taxpayer on the horizon. Alumni of the Kelso School of Government are demurring. Only County Executive Walker from Milwaulkee stands above the dust and shambles. I guess I can't blame them, it's a hard knocks school and they are sporting fresh lumps and bruises.

That leaves us with the infidels from Riverboat Jim's school of the Wheel and Deal, who learned budget ledgermain from a Harvard graduate and stands ready to tax and fee us to death and mummify us with debt bond-age and inter-fund transfercation. Not a pair of ruby reds can be found.

The recent election demonstrates what happens when the voters get so fed up they will take change at any price. There was no one to vote FOR, only only folks to vote against. The stagnent Republican tide finally swept out, but what swept in with the tide of negativity, all the candidate's whose moving and hopeful campaign platforms were the same -- "I'me not a republican. I have never been a Republican. I promise never to become Republican."

Like party was the problem.

Let us pray we don't get what we asked for when, in our rage we tossed out the lot of them. Arrivederci, Mrs. Kelso, we hardly knew thee. "Seems we jsut started and before you know it, comes the time to say 'so long'"

I'm tugging my left ear, dear.
