SSDD: Lies, Lies, and More Lies

I received this email and, well, I guess it's politics as usual in Morrisville again. People who live in glass houses should not be surprised when they throw the first stone and it comes right back at them.

When will we learn that these allegations are just falsehoods distributed by a tyrannical and desperate group of generally sour and oppressive people who love nothing more than to ruin your day?

Please someone...ANYONE! Tell us what you find so appealing about people who abuse their authority, shut out debate, and lie. Why do you support them? Why do you want them in charge of your money and your children?

Plenty of Morrisville's leading citizens have rental properties that they rent out. Without renters, that second...third...fourth...fifth property is not an income producing asset. (My accountant taught me that one.)

First there was the anonymous flyer announcing that wisest of all Morrisville wise men, Bill Hellmann, was predicting a $3300 dollar tax increase on each home because the BECK, MILLER, JENKINS, and STONEBURNER ticket wanted to build a new school. I guess being nasty and self absorbed makes up for being just plain wrong.

Mr. Hellmann: Time to put up or shut up. Explain where you got that figure. I don't think you can. Neither can Brenda Worob, Jack Buckman, Ron Stout, or John DeWilde.

Now a new opposition flier has been distributed and it names Jermaine Jenkins as a non-taxpayer.

Here is how the flier reads and the details of it:

If you want to provide a good education and keep school taxes as low as possible vote for Buckman, Worob, Stout, and DeWilde....with a little hand doing thumbs up next to it...and then at the bottom...

If you want to have a new K-12 school built and an average school tax increase of approximately $3300 per home these candidates need your vote...Beck, Miller, Stoneburner, Jenkins(who lives in an apartment complex on Plaza Blvd. He does not pay any county/borough or school real estate taxes)...with a hand with a thumbs down next to it....

Folks, this is more misleading info.

Yes, Jermaine does not get a tax bill from the boro, school, or county but his rent covers the cost of the tax bill his landlord receives. Maybe it's not as high as yours or mine because he shares his cost with other tenants in his complex but HE DOES PAY THESE TAXES.

Here are some FACTS about the other group:

Ron Stout rents his home. Does he pay taxes? He gets mighty worked up over them.

Jack Buckman is behind on his payment for water and garbage bills for the boro. Does this make him a better choice than Jermaine who stopped being a paid coach for the district so that he could run for school board?

John DeWilde has multiple traffic violations.

Brenda Worob owns rental properties. Does she pay the taxes or does she pass the bill to her tenants?

Do you want to find out what the Morrisville Pride candidates stand for? Meet the candidates at the Morrisville Senior Center on Friday, May 15th from 7-9. The Senior Center is located at 31 East Cleveland Avenue.

This will be a great opportunity to speak to the candidates and ask them your questions and tell them your concerns. We are haveing a Q&A session along with some time to speak individually to the candidates.
