Welcome backto the new and improved Robbins Report, calling out stupid as stupid does!

In our first installment…

It appears that the Rochester Hills City Council, in their “Holier than thou” attitude has decided that people who owe back taxes or back water bills shouldn’t be allowed to run for city council.

What a waste of time! Was the Council chambers void of oxygen that night or did they take stupid pills? I mean come on, I expect more from these people. Here is why this just won’t work…

1. At what point and time does the clerk check to see if you owe? Upon submitting petitions? Ok so as long as you are current at that time, it don’t matter if you get behind again.

2. Just because someone owes taxes or water bills does that make them too stupid to be on Council? What’s with the BS attitude up there?

3. What about people who rent? If their landlord is behind does it mean they can’t run?

4. If the mortgage company who has funds in escrow is behind does it mean you can’t run?

I really hope they rescind this motion and take it off the ballot because if it is enacted, I can see a violation of civil rights lawsuit in the future. Don’t these people have anything better to do like figure out how to fund more cops? They are soooo worried that someone who is behind in their taxes is going to take their job they have to add it to the Charter? Come on.

What’s next? If you live in a certain area of the city you can’t run? Why don’t we say if your house is valued under a certain amount you shouldn’t be able to run or if your grass isn’t cut on the second tuesday in June you can’t run. What about if the car you drive costs under 30k you can’t run.

I am so disappointed in these people. Give props to Marty, Jim and *gulp* E-man (Yes I said it) for voting against it.
