  Look Doug.....I made a very simple comment and was hopefully a bit humorous. You go off on one of your tiring, repetitive tirades. You continue to regurgitate the same old story with no supportive facts. You've been telling us for years that there were going to be arrests, arraignments, convictions, grand jury indictments, etc. I really feel sorry for you. It is a real burden to carry all of that paranoia on your shoulders.

  Mr. Morgan, why did you post something as ridiculous as you did? These issues, past and present, that have destroyed Lodi's image need to be owned up to and let those responsible for such waste, such as this app for the utility, man up and give real justification for this constant Lodi city council fervor for wasteful and unneeded spending on the backs of residential ratepayers. The new garbage rates posted in the paper today, so why not an app showing just how much Waste Management will reap this year in additional profits? And what that will amount to with those 7 additional contract years, for which councilmen Hansen, Johnson and Katzakian were 3 of those who voted yes to accept that million dollar "gift" from Waste Management. And why do these council reps continue doing the billing for this billion dollar corporation? For a paltry $200K or so that doesn't even cover postage for the year and simple billing for this private corporation? This was done originally as a courtesy to the original local garbage company and should,'t have carried on to this billion dollar corporation. Is there a chance that portions of that "windfall" could be going into the wrong pockets? Just keep voting for these fools unless you're unwilling to accept the constant financial burdens these 3 dominating voters have placed upon many Lodi families that can least afford it, especially those eastside residents, mostly minority, yet these pet projects and expenditures are all westside and local developer controlled. I don't want to knock you, but make you and all other Sentinel readers aware of the corruption in this little town controlled by the wealthy interests in the good old boys club, and whose well planned schemes are seemingly carried out by the 3 yes votes of the 3 amigos.

  What in the world does your response have to do with my comment? Your paranoia is wheeling out of control. You better get yourself under control.

  So Mr. Morgan, you're happy with the old sad sacks, Hansen, Johnson and Katzakian and paying the tab for those polluters like the Weybrets and Katzakian, Hansen's poor power buy that has Lodi electric payers paying some of the highest residential rates in the nation, Johnson, Hansen and katzakian and their million dollar gift from Waste Management to upgrade the Grape Bowl in return for a 7 year extension on their garbage contract and rate raises guaranteed? And now the unneeded water treatment plant voted on by these three shysters to be paid by taxpayers of Lodi rather than the original plan of being paid for by redevelopment fees? I know where you stand in the 21st century. Are you related to or a business associate of any of these corrupted triplets?

  What an absolute waste of time, funds and staff on such a ridiculous "upgrade" as this by Mr. Mann? Just how many Lodians have smart phones, especially ATT iphone service? Good to see that Hansen can see his high utility bill on his iphone on his way to make a payment? LOL. Mr Hansen should use that iphone to answer his emails from me that he has constantly ignored concerning those high electric bills for rersidential ratepayers in Lodi due to his poor judgement in being one of the major players of the power buy in 2005-2006 that nearly bankrupted Lodi electric and sent them some $200 million into debt, and sending residential ratepayers electric bills some 70% or so higher to cover up for his mistake. Now being chair of the dysfunctional, who brokered the deal with the help of Hansen, supposedly, the NCPA has one of its "family" as Lodi electric director, who I assume merely takes her directions from the NCPA and Hansen, keeping Lodi residential ratepayers some of the highest in the nation.
