MOORE TRASH!!

     The Moore Administration has made two public statements though the local newspaper in regards to nuisance abatement and tall grass.   They are quoted in the Quincy Herald Whig articles on both September 18 2015 and again most recently on March 16th 2016 stating that they will send nuisance abatement notices to residents who's grass is taller than 10 inches.   They are also quoted as stating that a multitude of notices have been sent out both last year and this year to property owners.  These property owners are charged $60 an hour for city crews to clean up said yards.

While you are out enjoying this beautiful Memorial Day weekend please take a drive by the 22nd and Chestnut area and look at our CITIES reservoir.

How do you ask your citizens to maintain their own properties when the Moore administration is unable to maintain CITY PROPERTY???    How does the Moore Administration justify fining citizens for grass over 10 inches when it is unable to maintain its own property to under 30 inches???  

We are all for a beautiful city!!!   Being born and raised in this beautiful community (unlike our current mayor) we are greatly saddened by the filth and decay that has come upon this city as of the last couple years.  Quincy needs to get its pride back but that can't done by the Moore Administration saying one thing and not following it up with actions.  To stand behind a podium and state you want this city to be beautiful is one thing but REAL LEADERS lead by example not hollow words!!

Maybe Mayor Moore saddened by not winning the "Tree City USA" award in 2014 has decided to go after the "Garbage City USA" designation.  Sure appears that way.

DECEPTIVE LITTLE LEPRECHAUN

GOOD PEOPLE

Normally this site has a more raw and in your face style to it then what you are about to read.  We will on occasion vary from that style when we see a truly good person with what we feel is good intent towards our community and its citizens as a whole.  This is why we have as of late decided to write on this subject.

    Its our opinion that judges and the person holding the State Attorneys office need to have the ability to objectively look at a persons intent and actions.  Whether that person truly deserves to become a member of our penal system or if there is another route they can steer them into becoming a productive member of our society.  Not all people that commit crimes are hardened criminals.  Some are just everyday ordinary people that made a mistake or chose the wrong path for one reason or another.   Should they be penalized in some manner?   Yes, but giving people the maximum allowable penalty is not always the answer.  There are other routes and avenues available.

     What we respect about Mr. Farha is his ability to see people for what they really are and/or capable of becoming.  He has shown a tough but compassionate approach to the handling of drug cases in our community.  He has helped put the people that deserve to be behind bars there.   He has also helped many individuals who have made mistakes or chose the wrong path to turn their lives around with his approach.   Drugs are a scourge on our community.  They destroy people and families.   Isn't it nice to see people and families overcome this travesty because someone showed them some compassion and a willingness to steer them down the right path?

     The States Attorneys office shouldn't be about purely attempting to put up numbers as we have seen from Mr. Farha's opponent.   It shouldn't be about ego or improving ones resume by seeking the maximum allowable penalty.  It should be about our community, its members, and its betterment as a whole.

     Normally we would be the first to point out Mr. Farha's indiscretions, as his opponent has, but we would have done so in a much more TRUTHFUL manner.   In this case, we think we will show Mr. Farha the same compassion he has shown many of the people and families of our community.  Sometimes you have to see the big picture of someone and not dwell on a few mishaps.  Mr. Farha has done just this with his current position and we project he will do the same as Adams County States Attorney.

IS CIFALDI'S GLASS HOUSE SHATTERING?

A letter to the editor in this past week's Quincy Herald Whig was quite ironic considering we are in the Lenten season.

In all four gospel accounts, Pontius Pilate lobbies for Jesus to be spared his eventual fate of execution, and acquiesces only when the crowd refuses to relent. He thus seeks to avoid personal responsibility for the death of Jesus, literally washing his hands of the matter

Early on in the Cifaldi campaign there was evidence leading one to believe current Adams County States Attorney Jon Barnard was supporting her election effort.    Barnard's wife and their mutual friends were all showing signs of supporting Cifaldi.   Since that early show of support the Cifaldi campaign has run a relentless negative campaign against Mr. Farha.   In the last debate Mrs. Cifaldi went as far as to make the claim that Jon Barnard approved her negative ads.  During this same time period interesting revelations have been brought to light of Cifaldi cutting deals for campaign contributors.

Barnard recently issued a letter that said he was not endorsing either candidate for State's Attorney.  He also makes it very clear in this letter that he did not approve the script of Mrs. Cifaldi's negative ads further bringing into question Mrs. Cifaldi's self proclaimed integrity.  For Barnard to distance himself after the implosion of  Cifaldi's negative campaign and distortions, he has in essence washed his own hands of her impending fate.

     Recently we have seen Mrs. Cifaldi's campaign taking on large amounts water.   So how do Jim Reis and Alex Drummond (Judge Drummonds son) the orchestrators of Mrs. Cifaldi's negative campaign, plan to right Mrs Cifladi's sinking ark?  They are attempting to take Mrs Cifaldi back to her prelenten / Mardi Gras momentum with a $6400 cajun injection of cash donated by a couple in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Expect a media blast of more negativity paid for by sources outside Adams County through Tuesdays primary from these one trick ponies! 

Their only problem is that Jon "Brutus" Barnard may have just delivered her to Calvary for the Ides of March.

PATRONAGE???

Did the Moore Administration throw away the City of Quincy's formal hiring practice?
