Here's a date I'm sure all of you will want to put on your calendar least you forget.
Other than triple sevens you ask what's so special about that date? Well, it's a Saturday and the day of a big fund raiser in the back yard of his trusty side kick for the Honorable Mayor Joe.
According to The Review today it will be held form 1-3 PM in the back yard at 1231 Clover Street. The cost of admission, or donation as they called it, is $10 per head. It don't cost a lot in the ville to be part of the party faithful. What a bargain... Hey if you play 777 on the lottery & it hits you might come out ahead.
I'm just wondering. Will Joe be there to field questions?

Did you read the paper about Ed Wilson?
Why don't Joe and his pathetic croonies just grab a blue barrel, stop traffic and beg for money like all the others in that damn town?
Why don't you run for Mayor 3:29? How about painting those poles on Broadway, fix them pumps on the fountains, clean up the streets, make a move on new business? Really try to make a contribution for the better of the community.
Not that the other men running haven't. But who are you? What have you accomplished? Did you pick up cigarette buttes outside of the bar? And when was it illegal to have a fundraiser anyway?
Oh, maybe you live in East Liverpool!
Standing in the street with a begging barrel. Is that like, fundraising for the creatively retarded and lazy.
By-the-by, the lamp posts on Broadway are currently being sand blasted, primed and painted a shiny black. They started at 5th Street and are now down past 6th. Looking good in my opinion.
Ranger Dew Drop Inn,
It seems you've been smitten by some of the comments. Are you the mayor himself or one of those cronies that 3:29 is talking about?
Live a little, take the criticism as a grain of salt, suck it up, but first and foremost think about the barrels. Dem Barrels is everywhere. There's been a lot of commentary in this blog and Matty Matt's blog about Dem Barrels, people are sick of them, maybe the local gubberment should take head of this problem and think of some solutions. It's your (I mean Joe's) constituency that has a problem with the barrels. Maybe do a little brainstorming to come up with other ideas for raising cash. Maybe have a dunking contest with the mayor in the tank (sink the mayor for a buck). From the comments on this blog, I bet you'd pull in more money by doing this than having a party in your (I mean Joe's) alleyway. Take home message, suck it up, leave your feelings offline, and take the comments back as suggested improvements for the village. Your tax base isn't too large because your taxpayers don't make much money. I’d hate to know what the average, per capita, income is for Wellsville, scary. Wellsville is a economically depressed, why would you want to shame people into giving money at Dem Barrels? People don't have the cash, maybe it's time to creatively think about some different fundraising activities. Maybe Dem bloggers would stop bitching about Dem Barrels.
Stew on that…..
I've noticed that barrel begging is on the rise in East Liverpool as well, which is unfortunate. It is a degrading, reprehensible practice that should not be permitted. It must be effective, though, or no one would bother.

Hey Ranger Dewie,
My point is that it takes little to stand at a blue barrel and beg for money...Start a carwash, have a bake sale, teach kids that if they want something they have to WORK for it. WORK...you do know what that means, don't you??
