Dear Scal,

As always, your information is a little off.

First you say "I'm not sure what you know the least about", "paying taxes" (I don't owe any - I did owe a penny in March, exactly ONE PENNY but I paid it) "budgets", ( I introduced many budget saving plans. To date no one else has in the last 18 YEARS!) or "winning elections". (My message of "cut taxes - cut spending" DID WIN even though the messenger didn't.) And you call that "cluelessness" Scal?? Are you kidding me Scal? My campaign got more press, more attention and MORE VOTES THAN ANY OPPONENT SCOTT AVEDISIAN EVER HAD IN 18 YEARS!!! You are right however, about the "no one was afraid of you" comment. I was warmly received by everyone, even you when we would meet around town.

Second, you keep saying I campaigned for over 700 days and then you say I was lazy. Scal, NO ONE has ever campaigned for that many days in a row ; not even close! That isn't lazy my critical friend. That is an absolute commitment to my platform.

Finally, you're so upset that I "wouldn't name one line item in the budget that I would cut". You're right. If I did that, if I said "Let's reduce line item "X" by one dollar" you would have had a field day defending the "honor" of the people effected. You are so p***s**d off that I didn't give you a target to shoot at but Scal, I do know a little about that stuff. That's why I didn't. But even you liked my idea of "voluntary pension buyouts" like they do in Texas (I studied their program as well) and as I told you in the City Hall parking lot, it wouldn't cost the taxpayers or the union ANY MONEY. You remember Scal, don't you? It's the same conversation when you asked me if I would consider privatizing trash pick-up. Remember when I said I would rather die than privatize any services. Remember Scal?

Yeah...you do.

Oh, and one more thing...

You said "have a little pride" and you're wrong AGAIN ( I think this is a new record for you) I have an enormous amount of pride. My "cut taxes - cut spending" message got 13,278 "followers" and they influenced the City Council and even the Mayor and Scal this is the first year we didn't have a tax increase IN EIGHTEEN YEARS SCAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scal......You're welcome!

Happy Summer Scal1024

Happy Summer everyone
