At tonight’s final city council meeting as the self proclaimed “Dream Team” said goodbye and patted themselves on the back for over a half hour, I couldn’t help but remember how much self-praise really stinks. (And that’s coming from an 8’ turd)
You have not left Rye in a better place then it was when you found it. You still have 34 homes on Hen Island polluting Milton Harbor and breeding mosquitoes by the millions. Your continued failure to protect the health and safety of our residents is a prime example of your administration’s many deficiencies. Don’t let the door hit you in the as* on the way out.

@ Jay Sears with no disrespect meant to Jayson,
I’m throwing my hat in the ring! I do not intend to turn this into a smear campaign. I am going to run on a platform of investigating Scott Pickup! Great behinds stink alike. We need to flush out the issue so everyone knows. We need moral fibre and commitment from our politicians. We need to push together to get some movement on this issue. Mr. Floatie cares deeply for the people of Rye. After all, he is from everyone in Rye, so if people get grumpy, he gets all lumpy, and that's not fun for anyone. It’s a crappy job, but someone has to do it. I’d be happy if I came in number two, but turd place would be a bummer. I’m a single issue, single tissue kind of turd. I am tired of working behind the scenes. I want to become more of a mover and a shaker in this city and I intend to push really hard. I may be the underlog in this race, but I think I can come from behind to win! There's a methane to my madness!
If you want things to really happen, vote for someone who has his crap together, vote for Mr. Floatie!
