Why Maureen's Four Blind Mice want to run Steven Horton out of the City Council

After last week's special and secret meeting of the newly formed Mount Vernon City Council, two things become abundantly clear: a) Council President Edwards, along with Councilmembers Watts, Munro and Appuzo have no intention of conducting city business with any transparency whatsoever and b) they want senior Councilmember Steven Horton out because he is the lone member not willing to go along with the sleazy tactics of Maureen Walker's Councilservants.

Last Monday, the council held a meeting to introduce legislation to eliminate the Office of the Inspector General. As you are well aware by now, this meeting was held with zero public notice and at a time (5:30pm) when most would have a hard time attending anyway. When it came time to vote on this disastrous piece of legislation, Steven Horton was the only member in opposition and registered that opposition with a "No" vote. These dynamics clearly seem to be what was at play when Maureen's Four Blind Mice set out to destroy the policital career of Horton. One councilmember who made it clear that he will not go along just to get along is now facing an attack not only from Edwards, Watts, Munro and Appuzo, but also the snake in the grass and convicted criminal Scam Rivers. You see, by running Horton out, these sunlight-evading creatures will then get to appoint his replacement and you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be yet another shill who will kowtow to Queen Maureen and abide by her agenda of division and destruction for the next two years.

Let's stop this nonsense. Let's shine the light on these antics and send this cabal scurrying back into their holes. Forward this email to those who care about Democracy and open government in Mount Vernon.
