Thank God for me because without me the only stories are about hazardous chicken bones.
ReplyDeleteOne day, when you grow up, Kamal, you’ll realize how oblivious and ignorant you sound. The saddest part is that, I suspect, you’re not really that oblivious. But perhaps you are that much of a narcissist that you can’t tell how insipid you seem.
DeleteDear sir,
DeleteOnly you will miss seeing yourself on Gossips.
But fear not, there is still plenty of fraud and incompetence to chase at HCSD and the County.
Your name will likely return to the news as your insider network meets daylight and a few buried scandals surface, with unhappy headlines arriving right on schedule over the next two years.
You still have a few unanswered FOILs and a sealed lawsuit. Wrap those up before year-end and you might leave something resembling closure.
If you are looking for something else to ponder, consider this: if you had taken the Democratic primary seriously, and campaigned with even 10 percent of the money and energy you spent in the general, you would very likely not have been fired.
Luckily for Hudson, you chose comfort over reality, and, as it turns out, hard work.
p.s. Would you like a gift subscription to The Free Press? There is a whole world beyond Hudson waiting for you.
Imagine being so incredibly petty and childish that you take umbrage with articles about keeping dogs safe. Perhaps you would take that issue more seriously if you ever set foot on the city sidewalks when you weren't getting paid to do so.
DeleteBad riddance. Let the door hit you on the way out.
Mayor Johnson - At the time of my open letter to you, I had not read you had finally scheduled a meeting with Mayor-elect Ferris the day before. Though it does feel late in the game, THANK YOU for doing the right thing.
ReplyDeleteThe city, its residents and the Mayor-elect appreciate this.
