Lose, Lose

The Mayor has done it again. How many failures must we watch as this Mayor seems to be on a scorched Earth policy of Political ineptitude. It is unbelievable to many that one of the biggest financially beneficial events to Duluth has been lost because, in the view of the Mayor, the City didn't get a big enough direct benefit from the event. This Mayor obviously has no understanding of business, economics, common sense, or human nature. The City of Duluth is on a slide, the likes of which we have never witnessed. Mayor Herb Bergson owes it to this City to resign immediately and in doing so, ask those he has run out of town to reconsider in his absence.

Now we hear the Kroc Center plan has been scuttled. This, another situation of the Mayor's making with a large portion of the responsibility also shared by the Godless majority on the City Council, fearing that this gift horse might one day mention the word God. These idiots have taken the City on a politically motivated train wreck of epic proportion. There seems to be no bounds to the stupidity and short-sightedness of the Duluth City Council, Mayor Bergson, the DFL Party, and the Unions who all seem bent on destroying what little is left of Duluth. I read a comment today to the effect that we should reverse the course of Grandma's Marathon, thereby eliminating the last big noteworthy event on the Duluth calendar.

What is Duluth coming to and why are we going there? If the Bluesfest was so frigging evil, why was it so successful? Has our illustrious useful idiot Herb considered the long-term ramifications of the outcome of this debacle? The damage to Duluth's reputation will be impacted on a nation-wide level. There are right and wrong ways to re-negotiate with purveyors within the City of Duluth but it seems beyond the comprehension of Herb and his henchmen.

It truly is time for the citizens of this City to decide whether they want to live the draconian existence desired by Herb Bergson, 7 of 9 City Councilors, AFSCME, the DFL and so many backwards thinking, boneheaded, ultra-liberal, knuckle dragging, neanderthals. Duluth needs change. It will not happen until those who desire to stop all change get out of power. The DFL desires no change and in-fact, wants to return to days before we had the hope of the Kroc Center, before the excitement of Bayfront Blues Fest and apparently devoid of any hope for a future for Duluth.

Herb Bergson, my message to you is if you have a decent bone in your body, if you have one ounce of decency, one pebble of integrity, you will resign and apologize for your monumental failures which are far too many and to great to detail here. Everything you have touched has turned to shit and it is time you recognize, acknowledge, apologize for and let Duluth move beyond you and your seeming limitless ability to screw things up. Leave this area and let the memory of your failures fade. You owe this to Duluth.
