Aloha!
Hello from sunny Hawaii, where I'm scoping out the wonderful accommodations for the upcoming national pension conference to be attending mostly by Monroe County retirement board members.
Can you believe there are 22 restaurants in this place, and they're not all Mickey Ds.
I hear there's a big blow-up back home about the upcoming trip. It's funny what strange stuff tends to upset the citizenry so much.
I hear the old town is just buzzing about what a lot of people think is a lavish boondoggle.
The odd part about all this is that most off those who will be taking the trip have no accountability to anyone -- not even the pensioners or employees they pretend to represent.
Certainly I would never hold it against anyone to jump at the chance to travel to Hawaii. Especially on someone else's dime.
I just hope the elected officials choosing to attend the conference learn a little bit off the language when they're here.
It seems some voters are getting ready to say Aloha! to them.
Hawaiian pension conference Lesson One: Aloha doesn't only mean hello in the native language.
It also means goodbye.

Was it really necessary for Charlie Slat to get a quote or two from Linda Compora?
Can't take the truth, so delete a comment?
Let me rephrase. You are a @#%#&*#@ no matter which state you are in.
Why not get a quote from the most knowledgeable person in the City, just ask her. No, truthfully he probably asked her opinion because he knew that the others he could have interviewed would have had the correct answers to his questions, and that wouldn't sell papers. She doesn't have a clue that this is pension money, not City money. If she were so concerned with City money, then why did she let her buddy Manns work out the deal with the fireman's union which helped contribute to the upcoming pension contribution deficit? Doesn't matter, she will just blame Al's CCC buddies somehow.
Funny; no mention of her PPO action against David Smith made it into the Monroe Evening News. I guess it was not newsworthy enough. Talk about selective reporting.
The PPO was dropped, as an agreement by both parties. Compora and Smith have restraining orders against each other, from what I understand, as part of the mutual agreement. She must have had a very weak case to drop this issue so fast. Her attorney probably told her she had no case and this was the best to hope for.
Still don't know who skunked her car. She has claimed the Mayor did it, now David Smith has done it, but we all know who did it. Yes, it was the skunk himself who took one for the team and gave his life so Compora could be miserable, not that she needs any help. I guess he figured if she was going to be on City Council then he didn't want to live anymore. Poor Little Skunk. I hear that it was wearing a 3C button, and she swerved to hit it!! Bitch!!
The Monroe Evening News is even more biased than the observer. They would never report a PPO order that a certain councilwomen felt she needed got thrown out. They would never point out that it wasted the courts time, and put a citizen to considerable expense to defend the Constitution of the United States so we can all enjoy our personal freedoms. This would put the councilperson in a negative light to any thinking individual, and may hurt the News from achieving their agenda.
They would rather stir up jealousy and animosity among the local citizens about a conference than tell about Compora’s escapades. Don't report that there are legitimate reasons to go - just stir up jealousy, hatred, and mistrust. That is why they only give you one viewpoint – to further their agenda and sell papers.
Most conferences try to locate in nice places that people want to go. Sure they could have it in Detroit, but then who would show up? They can’t even get people to go to the SAE show that live here. How are you going to convince people to come here for a pension conference? Better to have it in a good place, with scenery, entertainment, etc.
Good work observer! Good work Monroe Evening News! Just give one side – don’t give both sides so people can make intelligent choices on their own!
Can't we get Compora for cruelty to animals for hitting that skunk?
God - I wish stupidity were a crime. If it were Compora would have been executed a long time ago, along with you observer.
Now – feel free to delete this post. Rick Floraday – you are just angry and bitter that you didn’t get elected so you could go to. Get over it.
Hey F*#&nuts,
Where were all the crybabies at the pension board meeting? They wanted answers, BUT THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Where was that whiny councilcunt Compora? She demands answers when she's acting as a politician on TV, but where was she?
