CIFALDI LIVES IN A GLASS HOUSE!!!

     Recently we have sat back and watched Mrs Cifaldi attack Mr. Farha on multiple allegations of wrong doing on his part.  Honestly, we all have shit in our closets.  None of us are perfect even though we may strive to be,  This thought and our political cynicism led us to question Mrs. Cifaldi's motives,  Why is she so venomous and boisterous on this matter.   Usually when someone acts in this manner it is because they are trying to hide their own faults or shortcomings.   So we decided to do a little digging around and were actually quite shocked by what we found!

     When searching through Mrs. Cifaldi's campaign contributions one particuliarly stood out to us. It did so because they were not one of the normal Republican candidate contributors we were used to seeing.  Please note the date of this contribution was September 3rd, 2015 and the address.

Interestingly enough the same last name and address shows up on the Adams County Circuit Clerks website three times during the same time period.

     These tickets were the result of a two car accident that took place at 12th and Monroe.   The accident included the defendant and a Mr. Haxel.  Mr. Haxel was not ticketed according to our search.

The driving while revoked was dismissed by Mrs. Cifaldi on 10/15/2015.   The headset reciever charge was dismissed by Mrs. Cifaldi on 10/15/2015.   Ms Veihl was given supervision, a fine and a drivers education course to complete as a result of the disobeying a stop sign citation by Mrs. Cifaldi.  Here is the court order presented to the judge by Mrs. Cifaldi for his signature.

One thing really stands out to us on this whole order.   Who was the defense attorney?   OH WAIT!   There was NOT ONE!   Please notice the bottom of the order where the Defense Counsel copy is crossed off!  No where on the Adams County website does it list a defense attorney handling these tickets.

Mrs Cifaldi's campaign ads claim a 95% conviction rate.  So if she is such a great attorney and thinks she is the best choice for Adams County States attorney, then how does she back away from this case who's only defense was a 20 year old non-attorney?

And how was Mrs. Cifaldi rewarded for her stellar prosecuting of this case?

In Mrs Cifaldi's campaign ads she claims to be ethical.   What do you think?

MOORE CONTROVERSY

     Recently the City Council has taken up an ordinance to limit the time department heads could serve on interim status.   Why in the entire history of the City of Quincy government has this become an issue now???    Has the Moore Administration been using this method to circumvent the normal process of hiring department heads?  Didn't Moore campaign on more transparency?  Is the City Council questioning the competence of the Moore administrations hiring practices?

     The City Council has also put another ordinance on the table that they need to now be involved in the dismissal of a department heads in which they had to approve for hiring.   Again, Why?   Has Moore and a high ranking member of his administration been threatening department heads by reminding them that they are "at will employees" every time something goes wrong or they don't get their way?  Is the Moore administration hiding behind its department heads for its own failures?  Are the department heads tired of the Moore administrations tantrums and complaining to council members about their treatment?  Is Quincy's new patronage king, Alderman Sassen, (more on this later) quietly tired of the Moore administration disrupting his system?

     Finally, the City Council is seeking to hire its own attorney instead of taking the advice of the corporate council it approved a mere three years ago.   This opens a myriad of questions.   Does the council not respect the advice they are receiving from its head city attorney?  Do they feel that the city's chief corporate council is assisting the Moore administration by hiding things from them?  Are we really going to add another attorney to the cities payroll and at what cost to taxpayers?

The Republicans hold the mayors office and a 10 to 4 majority on the city council.   One would think that there would not be so much constant controversy taking place in our city government.  With all these current structural changes taking place within our city government,  one has to wonder if the Aldermen are giving Kyle Moore an "F" on their scorecard!

Happy Belated Birthday, Kyle!

Most kids have a clown show up for their birthday.   Not Necessary here!
