From The Journal Times.com:
"On Wednesday City Administrator Tom Friedel confirmed that Dickert had
left for the trip early Wednesday morning. Friedel did not know what
members of the Sister City delegation had also flown out."
"Administrative Assistant Greg Bach said Wednesday that he won’t know the
cost of Dickert’s flight to the city until after the delegation returns
to Racine on Saturday. Bach also could not say how many people made the
trip to the city."

LOL. Lying John is vacationing in Mexico on our dime, but no one knows the cost or who went. You can't make this stuff up. Our streetlights come down and city services are cut because lying John says we're broke. But when he wants to party, there are plenty of taxpayer dollars available. What an utter swine, inflicting massive damage on our city and forcing us to pay for trips to France and Mexico that produce NOTHING for Racine. He went to France to look at fish farms when there was one three blocks from City Hall. Failure after failure, lie after lie.
It's the job of the city administrator and the mayor's administrative assistant to know what is going on. They say they're ignorant of what lying John is doing. Then they should be removed from their positions. If the city administrator doesn't know what's going on, who the hell does? We spend over $200K on these clowns per year, but they know nothing.
You can contact the president of the Mexican town that Dickert is vacationing in by email: presidencia@zapotlanejo.gob.mx Let him know what you think about lying John stealing money from our city to give to his friends. Let our sister city know that our city is massively corrupt and we need their help in exposing the criminals in our government.
I sent a letter to Zapotlanejo Municipal President LCP. FRANCISCO JAVIER PULIDO ALVAREZ.

Interesting.
Francisco Pulido personified in the last bazooka to a senator who opposes corruption, and therefore is killed
ReplyDeleteZAPOTLANEJO, JALISCO (12/NOV/2013) -. Zapotlanejo Mayor Francisco Javier Pulido, claims that his appearance on "The last bazooka" tried to communicate that the problem is combat drug trafficking , which is addressed in the film. "I participate as a senator who was not corrupt, and so much so that I go a minute or two, and I had to die because they did not pay me to that situation."
The mayor explained that the producer of the film, Juan Manuel Romero, requested permission to film, and knowing the subject was adopted because "we have a commitment to counter this."
He reported that the City Council provided the production patrol, two elements of police, and an office of City Hall and no public funds involved.
On the controversy it has caused some citizens said that he never imagined the impact of their actions, but "the message is clear here, we report that are against drug trafficking (...) I am respectful of people. It's like watching the glass of water half full or half empty. "
He claims that if another film company approached filming he would accept, depending on the subject, "we do not close the door to anyone."
In a statement, reports that the film "had the motive of creating awareness among the population of antisocial phenomena and the consequent moral degradation." He argues the role of the mayor in the municipal jurisdiction of crime prevention.
Clarify that the name of Zapotlanejo not appear in the film referred, as fictional actions are located in the State of Sonora. The recording took place from 18 to 29 July this year.

JT sez: You won’t see him on a beach in Cancun or Acapulco, however.
ReplyDeleteHe’ll be in the land-locked city of Zapotlanejo in the state of Jalisco.
Well, what then of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico? Only 340km away - about 4.5 hours.

AND
Keep in mind that there's nothing wrong to have a Sister City, but, the question among citizens is: How do we benefit from it??
Zapotlanejo has not much to offer, and there are no jobs. Minimun wage is $ 57 pesos x day, approx $3 bucks. Mostly local people are uneducated, its majority didn't finish high school, and barely can spell in spanish. Very much is the mecca for money laundry, most of the business owners are breaking the law, govmnt knows it and cover their asses. Local business entreprenuers are importing clothing from China, or the U.S. (L.A.) and relabeled items with their own brands, and some of them exporting back to the U.S.
Aeropostale, Hollister, etc you name it, takes a few minutes to re-make a t-shirt with a registered mark and sold it, cheap and by thousands.
DEA should come and visit this town, they'll be amaze for what they can find in here.
So, mayor Dickert wanna have a foreign student program, how that will be possible, if the same mexicans(people that are originally from Santa Fe,a small town located about 10-15 mins away from Zapotlanejo) which they're from the country, dairy makers. They lived for many, many years in the States, and still they haven't learn English, they don't integrate to american culture nor society, and some of them are living illegaly and over use medicaid or social services, having many children, so they can claim'em during income taxes, and don't play me with that because unfortunately, as a result, mostly americans think that all mexicans are the same, but, no, we're not. English is the official language in the U.S. and they don't have to translate everything into Spanish to make'em comfortable. They must leave their comfort zone. So, you guys think that in Mexico are gonna give you any type of form in English, of course not. Why do you have to celebrate Cinco de Mayo(May 5th) in the U.S ?? Money, that's all. In Mexico they don't celebrate 4th of July, so that's my point. Back into the students, will be difficult to see students around here learning Spanish, maybe they gonna get away drinking or smoking at an early age, ha ha as Zapotlanejo is numero in alcohol consumption in the entire state of Jalisco.
That's all folkso!
