Cotton Candy anyone?

The talk of the town this week has not been the upcoming referendum on the schools,even though this is a very important vote for all of Morton. No. Instead all of Morton is abuzz about Cotton Candy and her client. The former Superintendent of Public Works has reportedly admitted to visiting one Cotton Candy on more than one occasion. I am not here to judge him for his visits to Ms Candy. I question his doing so while on duty for the Village of Morton and his using a Village vehicle for his visit to Candy land. According to published reports the former Supt. admitted to being on duty and was pulled over in a Village vehicle. Perhaps a lawyer can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that in some jurisdictions a vehicle used in the commission of a crime can be seized by law enforcement and sold at auction. fortunately the folks 80 miles southeast of here didn't choose to keep our SUV. I guess this entire incident is a case of our tax dollars hard at work???? It is a bit ironic that this took place just 2 days after the village board met in closed session to discuss the use of village vehicles. Did I mention auction? In another bit of irony, The Supt. told the Candy Madam his name was Jim Roth. what hat did that name come out of and why? It is a shame but 99.9% of those I have spoken too are shocked yet happy that the Supt. has met his demise. He didn't seem to have many friends. Possibly because he was good at his job? Or possibly his demeanor was arrogant and 'It's my way or not at all". It is a shame to lose a good man over a piece of candy.
