The clowns want to hold a circus for city workers

City staff recently highlighted their disappointment with elected officials (Inside Scoop, May 11). These officials, having had adequate time for serious soul-searching, are now considering a happy solution.

Sandra Anderson Groat wants to throw a party for the employees. Robbie Perkins wants to be in a dunking booth to raise money. I suppose that, after consideration and study of this matter, the City Council will agree to also have a bake sale, enlisting the aid of the employees to donate cupcakes.

I am so encouraged that they “get it.” The clowns are indeed running the circus.

It would be more sporting and raise more money if Perkins would play dodge ball with tennis ball cannon.

Hugh,

I was thinking maybe a dunking booth with pirahnas. But, yeah, that's overkill. The tennis ball cannon would be more entertaining.

One of the relatively rare times I agree with the commenters above.

Seems kind of like giving the dog a treat after kicking the crap out of him. It doesn't really undo the kicking.
