Bill Pellow strikes again!

I thought I had heard the last from Bill Pellow (his upcoming newspaper spread notwithstanding).  To my surprise, I found someting in my mailbox.  It is yet another leaflet from Bill Pellow, candidate for mayor.  There isn't much in terms of content.  Now he waxes nostalgic about the buidings currently being torn down.  Then he offers some ideas of what to do with the many wide open spaces in our downtown.  In priciple, I agree with his assessment.  These are spaces that must be filled.  New businesses, of course, would be the way to go.  We'll have to get some citizens involved with the new council to hammer out some ideas.  Let's wait and see who is in the driver's seat and how receptive they are to OUR input, shall we?

On his original flyer, Bill said that few election signs were being erected over environmental concerns.  This latest flyer distribution is not very friendly to the environment.  We currently have no recycling programs for paper in Chapleau.  Where are these pages most likely to end up?  In the landfill of course.  The paper might as well have been pinned under my windshield wiper.

You can't really blame the poor guy though.  He's probably done canvassing and exhausted.  The debate is over.  His message board is closed, albeit by his own hand.  How else is he supposed to get in touch with the electorate?  What if somehow, he gets elected?  Will we get a weekly flyer update in our mailboxes?  Or will he stick to monopolizing our newspaper.  Have no fear, soon this will all be a distant memory.

  1. Ok so I fill one of those spaces and he knocked it anyway. I am glad he won't be leading our town in the future. He might have tried to close me down too.

  2. What ever happened to Mr. Bill Pellow, when the winning numbers were out for Mayor??

  3. He disappeared into the night. He went so fast, he didn't even say goodbye to his closest friends. I guess the election results were not quite what he had hoped for.
