The Great GOP Clown Car runs GRU right into the dirt

Hey, remember when our Republican overlords were going to run GRU like a business?

What a joke! What a bunch of clowns!

The supporting cast of clowns on the GRU governing board have submitted their letters of resignation. And not because they failed business school. But because their benefactor, The Great DeSanitizer (TGDS) put them in charge of GRU even though it was clear that most of them did not live within GNV city limits.

A legal requirement. Who knew?

“It’s just one little bit of the saga of the chaos that’s been created by this badly written law,” Hutch Hutchinson, head of Gainesville Residents United told the Gainesville Sun.

The resignations come in the wake Gainesville Residents United-filed litigation that, frankly, a second year UF law student could have successfully argued. Basically it was a slam dunk because our esteemed governor couldn’t be bothered to follow the law in making his GRU board appointments.

Personally I’m willing to give TGDS the benefit of a doubt.

It’s quite possible that he was simply unable to find enough GOP toadies in a city of 140,000-plus souls to fill his quota.

But the more logical conclusion is that the governor and his minions couldn’t care less about legalities.

The chaos of which Hutch spoke never was an unintended byproduct of the Great GOP GRU Hijack.

The chaos was always going to be the point.

It was never about running a City-owned utility like a business.

It was about punishment plain and simple.

Punishing GNV residents for having the temerity to keep electing Democrats in the anti-Ron’s Deep Red Free State Of Florida.

Oh, and speaking of chaos. Just wait until the bond agencies that rate GRU find out that its governing board has collapsed in such slapdash fashion.

Can you say junk bond status?

Call it a necessary first step if the ultimate objective is to fire sale GRU to an investor owned (private) utility.

Take a bow, clowns! You’ve earned it..

And make no mistake.

We know exactly who the clowns are.

Thanks Chuckles. Your pathological hatred of all things GNV is going to cost your ratepayers (and constituents) dearly.

Thanks Keith: How’d you like the anti-Ron’s Great GOP Clown Car to run your business (into the ground) like it’s been running GRU?

And thanks oh mighty Great DeSanitizer. Once again you have gotten to own the Dems

These clowns are laughing their asses off over the great joke they’ve just played on the City of GNV.

Now it’s time for GNV residents – the butt of their jokes – to start thinking about how they can wrestle back their utility from the clowns come the next election.
