Hi, Ed, I’m calling about “Ewing, Russia” in BackTalk. The reason they’re arguing in Ewing with the mayor is that the interim council president Murphy was on a recall list two years ago. People in the township were trying to get him and two others out of office. I signed the recall petition in Moody Park. So, Murphy and the others made laws to protect themselves, so that they can’t be removed from office if they only have a certain time left on their terms. That’s the reason why they’re saying the mayor can’t speak. I don’t know about the people in the audience, but that law needs to be changed. It’s unconstitutional and discriminatory. Because of their unscrupulous ways, there’s lots of crooked stuff going on in township hall, and it needs to be investigated.

Screwy

I love Ewing politics. They still think it’s 1910 over there. I bet they all smoke cigars.—Ed Note
