FURTH- ER PROCLAMATION FOR THE CIC/VFD MERMAN….ON EL MAR….
Dear Readers…you don’t have to wait for the Jimmy Silverstone July 28, 2009 New Business Item J. “PROCLAMATION FOR MARC FURTH”…or even for the Mc-Furth Times coming out at the end of the week….to see that for the 2nd time the CIC “leadership” ….have decided to “HIJACK” a Town sponsored/ Taxpayer funded event and claim it as their own …
The Citizens Initiative Committee is a registered Political Action Committee….that accepts dues from like-minded members…and you must be approved by the “cheerleading ” CIC BOARD to join….
It turned off the rest of the non- CIC LBTS taxpaying residents big time when the “Mc-Furth Gang” politicized July 4th by making this year’s event (paid for by the town)… a CIC/VFD /Town Sponsored event…( a first for this event)….The CIC Board “bent” the rules of eligibility to make the Mer-couple their CIC “Citizen’s of the Year” with the self adulating CIC -Coral Reef Project float front and center with the Furth close-up photos imposed on Mer-bodies leading the way….
Now they have sent out an e-mail (prev. post) to their dwindling “school of fish” that states they have placed this color ad in their Furth owned newspaper to get new CIC members…and prepare for the March 2010 CIC Commission Re-election Campaign straight from the Mc-Furth Times headquarter AKA Town Hall East…
We now have the copy of the CIC full page color ad..(can’t put on for copyright reasons)….
The background is a school of fish underwater…a familiar Marc Furth type-photo…

BC-WOW!…The Mc-Furth’s have taken a longtime LBTS Capital Improvement Fund Project…..had CIC members pay for a full page ad in their newspaper to “tout” it and are using it as a campaign tool for donations and for new members to join their PAC organization!…….
BC- Looks like somebody’s tanks were low on oxygen…….For the rest of us….it gives us the bends!…..
Please note members pay $10 yearly dues…a full page color ad cost approx. $750 in the previous BTSTimes…
Did members vote on this one?…Are there 75 members left to pay for it?….OUCH!…
