Bayfront Schmooz

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." Just when Mayor Bergson thought he was could extort more money from the BBF, he gets reeled back in by the Don. Who that may be is debatable. Many in Duluth subscribe to the notion that Jeno is The Man. If that is the case, when you have a Mayor such as Herb who has declared his independence; "I will not run again" conversely, he is apparently beholden to the scumbags still attempting to manipulate the governance of this City from either afar or within. What or maybe more appropriately, whom does he fear? His own shadow perhaps?

Mayor Bergson has an ego so fragile, the slightest affront from any group, pro-gay, anti-gay, pro-business (almost nobody), anti-business (DFL and practically everyone else in Duluth), fishermen, marina owners, developers, pilots, swimmers, people who defecate, urinate or wash dishes, homeowners, landlords, renters, drunks, teetotallers, faithful, atheists, agnostics, law and order types, police, lawbreakers, liars, incompetents, cheeseheads, or practically anyone on the planet depending on the time of day, the cause celeb' and Herb's state of consciousness. How does one plan for the future?

Here's how, grab a square of beach on Park Point and don a blindfold; spin yourself around exactly or not twelve thousand times and then turn the other way exactly or not, approximately, almost or about or maybe a hundred or so times; then, find the water, the grass, the sand, the lunatics who are advocating for compromising the safety of pilots, their families, (remember, if one, just one of those planes impacts one of those trees, they, the trees, will all burn) moving an airport to save a few trees-fly over Duluth sometime to put this into perspective-then call Herb about your latest concern. He will undoubtedly pay you lip-service. Then call Yvonne Putzner Solon...she will express her deep concern, bring it to committee and 124 years later, maybe something will be done but it will resemble nothing you intended and, you will be dead, but hey, you got your bill!

I digress, who runs, owns, controls this putz? Who is the Putz? Will anything ever change? Is Duluth just another example of a City hijacked by a goon squad of liberal scumbags disguised as business people and do-gooders or are we just too stupid to understand macro-economics of the mafia? I'll vote for all of the above as they are all my opinions and few if any of you have as much information about what's going on in Duluth as I do. Why is that? Because, as a Citizen of Duluth, I take responsibility and, unlike you, I choose to do something. I am doing it...are you?
