Dear Editor:
In most of my letters, songs, and poems that have appeared in this column my attempt was to address a problem by making the problem appear comical. I have always believed comedy is a simple way of being serious.
As I look back at the part I played in uncovering the (SMUA) Secaucus Municipal Utilities Authority Scandal, writing lyrics to the tune hail, hail, the gangs all there, my lyrics being, hail, hail, they’re going to jail, was my way of questioning Horan’s Bonding document. This Bond was later, much later, proven fraudulent. However at that time I was accused of making light of the SMUA scandal.
It is now 2009, and another problem has surfaced in Secaucus. I find it comical the spin town hall originally placed on the investigation of this problem. They assumed this problem was only confined to the Tax Collectors office and Alan personally. It’s obvious, going on partial information coming out of town hall and circulating around town, some accurate some mere speculation, that Alan Bartolozzi has a problem.
A word of caution. Like the SMUA fraudulent Bond that was assumed to be ligament. One should never assume the obvious is true.
