New Year, new Me??? Maybe…NAAAAAH. Not gonna happen.

Hey Plainfield Peeps,

It’s been a minute and I really thought this blog was dead. I was not motivated to keep doing this because I thought “who’s reading?” and :who cares?’

But I watched a video of the first Council meeting of 2023 and thought “Aw Hells NO!”

IN that audio I can clearly hear one Council person referring to the Council President as a Jackass. Ya’ll know who I’m talking about… yes, turns out woman hatin McKenna is also I’m beginning to suspect just plain racist!

Then he comes back to the next meeting and doubles down by saying he’s going to stop short of apologizing. WHAT!? why the hell are people still supporting this guy? I get it, he’s the savior for a certain area in the 2nd ward but if they’re really honest with themselves they’ll admit he ain’t done ish for the second ward. Can’t get nutten done because he doesn’t know how to get along with his council buddies. HE don’t deserve a seat at that table where decisions are made about our city. But some people would sell their A** for little or nothing so buddying up to this guy I guess doesn’t bother them. HE can be as F*ing rude as he wants to be and we’re jus gonna suck it? Damn PLainfield, I expected better of you. I know we let things slide sometimes but I thought we had more pride for our brothers and sisters Than that.

So yeh I crawled back out from under my rock because it IS election time and I do have some thoughts about McKenna and I guess that’s no surprise cause ya’ll know I ain’t liked this guy from day one and he aint; done a thing to change my mind. Just confirmed what I thought to begin with.

I thought about this a minute and and I said “self – it’s time to make a list” since this guy us running for his Council seat again I’m gonna make a list of all that this smug little man has accomplished for his ward in his four years on council. Then I said hell, it’s been four years so maybe the list is too long. Let’s name the top 3 things. So here I go.

TOP 3 THINGS MCKENNA HAS ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE 2ND WARD

1.Most NO votes ever recorded in a 4 year term

2.Managed to be unknown to 2nd ward residents who don’t live on the hill

3.Least amount of events attended by a councilperson in the entire history of PLainfield

That’s about all I could come up with, Maybe ya’ll can come up with a few more.I did hear that before he came on council though he did manage to get the YMCA sold so I guess he can vote YES for something.

The 2nd Ward deserves better! Imma try to say this without cussing (cause apparently that bothers some people and I guess my message can’t be received if I ain’t speaking the Queen’s English)

The 2nd Ward deserves a councilperson who reps EVERYBODY. HE ain’t got to agree with everything but he can show some respect it don’t take much to do that. I’m talking about a little class people… I’m talking about showing civility. (crazy idea I know – who the hell would want that, naH let’s just butt heads every council meeting and give my one vote and keep it moving) it’s crazy ish and if McKenna wins a another term its FOUR LONG YEARS OF THE SAME, butting heads and arguing and we the people sit by and suffer!!! but I guess some people love the drama.

I’m just gonna say this and go back into my bush, or under my rock whatever it is. Representation always matters so think hard about who is repping you.I heard someone use this word to describe him and it’s a perfect word – CONDESCENDING. that’s who’s repping the 2nd ward.

Ya’ll better stay woke. I see some comments on the buzz about taking PLainfield back to what it was… I was like WHOA! WTF? take it back to where? I don’t know bout ya’ll but I remember where Plainfield is coming from and it wasn’t pretty, so where we want to to take it back to? This awakens a lot of unpleasant thoughts in my head and that ain’t good. I also heard that a comment was made that “they” (not sure who that is but based on who made the comment I have some ideas) “they” will NEVER give up the 2nd ward seat. hmmmm. 2nd ward folks keep your eyes peeled and watch your back, not all neighbors are friends. That’s facts.

So it’s election eve. I guess most minds are already made up. But I said what I had to say and I feel better.

I’ll close with this…

Vote for McKenna if you agree with public abuse of women (especially black ones), public disrespect of elected officials, separation, no representation, turning PLainfield back, another 4 years of nothing for most of the folk in the 2nd ward.Thats what a vote for McKenna gets you.

If you’ve read all this, at least think about it. 4 years is a long time.

Stay Woke!
