Not ready for Prime Time

Townspeople expressed dismay in Phoenicia this week that the town board meeting was not aired. When asked, Stoopidviser Rob Stankley said he ordered public access TV off the air during the Town Board meeting. "You can watch it at a later date for now but we will not broadcast live, " he declared. According to Stankley his acting coach said he was not ready for prime time. "She told me I let a couple of audience members get the best of me and in an election year that is not a good thing." He further explained that less and less people will watch the meetings if they are shown at a later date so all in all that is helpful if people just let him do what he thinks is best. "Look, I raised the taxes a whopping 12 percent and told everybody it was out of their pocket as a mere 5% and not one reporter wrote about the huge increase," he chuckled. Stankley said the key is to keep information blurred. He went on to say that although he loves the camera, it is best if everyone is left in the dark when it comes to town business. "Just look at the town website," he smirked, " I write about everything but town business and nobody says a word. Read about contests and firehouse breakfasts but nothing about what I don't want to be telling you." Stankley then asked if his picture was going to be taken and mugged for the shot.

Lack of interest

Following the passage of the birdbrain parks and recreation board idea, Stoopidvisor Stankley scrambled to fill the newly created five positions. No brainer Piss Fischer was a political appointment revolving around the infighting about ute soccer. "The shandaken utes belong in shandaken not weirdstock," Fisher declared with Stankley quickly kissing Fishers ass over the apparent distress of Feather "I got playground equipment for my kids even though the school's playground is around the corner" Roberts. Fisher was the man behind grabbing the park for his business refusing to let the children use the park during the great soccer war revolving around the extremely controversial use of Dean Gutter's land. Roberts was named park marshall of Perish field so she can further the recreation opportunities in what her kid called "my back yard". James Cougar was named to care for the Pine hill park much to the surprise and dismay of Craig Alpomeato, an advocate of anything that he can use in his business to promote his business. The depth of the lack of interest in the new board was most apparent in the naming of pathetic "I am too going to build a resort and waterpark someday" Farty Gailles to the Big Indian park. Farty insisted she was the right person following her  planting flowers on the roadside and picking up the trash thrown out the car window by her husband Scary and the rest of the Belly Air partners. Lastly, Stankley put his own mother on the board to retain influence over the board. When asked if his father was ever going to honor his promise of finishing the handicap bathrooms in glenbrook park Stankey snickered, "Ma will make him. Once she gets going, you can't shut her up. I bet he'll never want to go home." Stankley Plumbing promised to do the bathrooms for free as a campaign promise when Stankley ran as councilman  seven years ago. The park board is charged with keeping the dog poop down to a manageable amount.
