DRISCOLL COUNTY POLITICS

Grandview Mayor Milio dodges questions on EVERYTHING

Today at the Grandview City Council Meeting Mayor Alex Milio manned the podium for almost a half an hour, taking questions on a variety of topics ranging from curfew laws to city liquor licenses. It would be appropriate to say that the Mayor has been working out his political muscles, managing to sidestep every question posed to him with longwinded responses. We all understand what it is to avoid the question at hand. My mom’s been bugging me about coming home for Thanksgiving this year, and I’ve continued to respond with new questions about dear old dad’s health. But let’s face it. I’m going to be slicing dry turkey this late November while my Aunt Jessie bugs me about my dating life. And don’t doubt for a moment that I won’t be searching my old high school yearbooks and address books, attempting to find an old friend who will be willing to save me from my family’s annual “Turkey Hangover Argument”. Mayor Milio has no choice. Eventually, he will have to produce some answers to everybody’s questions. It’s only a matter of time before the community will lose patience. I anticipate that the curfew laws will be upheld and local businesses will have to cut through loads of more red tape in order to procure a liquor license. If you ask me, he should be fighting the drinking laws. With nowhere to go on the school nights, the Driscoll County teens would supply quite the pretty penny for their neighborhood spirits provider. Think of all the tax dollars. But that’s only if you ask me.
