Fantasy Mayor

I just heard Wayne Seybold answer a question by a caller on the Cable program he does with Steve Wright. He said there are "lots of jobs in Marion". (Program aired on Jan. 7, 2010) He sighted Dollar General, Tirenda, and WalMart Distribution Center.

Of Course WalMart Distribution Center is in Gas City. But that is forgivable, as many from Marion are employed there.

Fact is there are 100 people for every job that opens in this community. Everyone who stood in line at Big R, knew this to be true. A trip to St. Marten's on the first Friday of the month will tell the story in Marion. There are many hungry people there. Some of them were employers of others in the past. But now they stand in a food line.

Mr. Seybold was squirming while he answered the question. Squirming is not repentance.

I cannot see how anyone, can believe anything this man says. Unemployment doesn't go away because you deny it. It goes away with real jobs, not pretend jobs in the fantasy of a deceiver.

The greatest need in this city is for our Government to own up to its own failure, and then to implement works in keeping with that repentance.

Hard words but true.
