    I am interested to see what our elected “officials” in Sullivan County make monetarily. There’s more than this that they would like to keep quiet. How about the water supply. Why are they drugging the water supply with FLUORIDE under the hoax that it keeps down cavities. It is national news today that the Federal Government is going to put lithium in the water, Prozac, etc It is by design .
    I personally believe it is to sedate Americans ….maybe that is what the problem is at this time in history. It seems that the population in a hypnotic BRAIN FOG,, especially about Obama and the Federal Government ROBBING AMERICANS of their lively-hood. I personally believe that if Obama ate a baby on TV that the “people” would stand up and say he’s right and he’s great. Look around people . Wake Up.
