Morrisville Pride or Deadbeats? It's your choice for our future.

Perhaps the shortest answer on who to vote for Tuesday: The Morrisville Pride candidates, or the stay on track and do whatever Bill wants candidates. This is a comment from the BCCT story yesterday about our Morrisville candidates unable to pay their municipal bills for multiple years.

This is so typical politician and typical Morrisville. Deadbeats is what we used to call people like this and maybe we should still. I have NO sympathy for people who can't pay their water or sewer bills.

My major concern is their ability to govern. When a bill comes up before them to pay for something useful like municipal repairs or new equipment for the fire department, how are they going to think beyond their own wallets or purses? They can't. They'll hold the line and never spend a dime for the citizens in spite of how useful or intelligent the bill.

Do not elect anyone who can't pay their bills.

Morrisville has a choice - deadbeats or honest citizens. It's that clear cut.

I have some sympathy for people who can't pay their water or sewer bills. I just don't want them as my elected officials. It's hypocritical, and it reeks of conflict of interest.

They should put the time they put into being elected officials into earning the money and resolving their personal budgets to get caught up on these bills.

No "special" payment "agreements", either.

Increasing the "things that make you go hmmmmmmm" factor is that 3rd Ward Borough Councilwoman Jane Burger, until just recently Council President, also sits on the Morrisville Municipal Authority (MMA) board, to whom the overdue water & sewer bills are due.

And Buckman is a Burger ally. Ledger and Dreisbach may be Burger allies too. DeWilde may be too, and he lives next door to her.

I wonder why Buckman Burger buddy Steve Worob never exposed this stuff? Or will it be in the book?
