Transit Millage follies

Since the Ann Arbor Farmers Market is likely fading towards irrelevancy due to the DDA removing their parking subsidy from the Market's budget, the Fuzzbollah collective will engage in general commentary about Ann Arbor politics.

The Market is broken, the thieves still rule, and certain politicians aided and abetted those thieves and frauds, time to start calling them out. Here, for your reading pleasure, is a Fuzzbollah polimerick which neither the Ann Arbor Chronicle, nor even middleoftheleft would print on their sites. What have you guys to fear?

In tree town up came Transit Millage
Since Ann Arbor's no longer small village
The Millage it passed
Left Lou Glorie aghast
Opposition framed tax as a pillage

Jack Eaton warned voters in ought twelve
Transit leaders their Millages to shelve
His supporters they killed
Library & Arts funding stilled
Eaton then sought to write "note to selve"

In twenty fourteen we find Eaton
Not telling whether supportin' or defeatin'
But then says with a grin
Results need questionin'
Eaton's words are the ones Eaton's eatin'

Kathy Griswold said John Hieftje's grail
Is to use Transit Millage for rail
Yet without any proof
Her argument went *poof*!
Now she'll find something else 'gainst which to flail

In this mess we find citizen Hayner
Opposing what should have been a no-brainer
He kept citing "facts"
Talking points soft as wax
Lesko Griswold playbook is insaner

And finally that Hunter named Libby
Fancies self a songwriter so glibby
When called a curmudgeon
Fuzzbollah's words are a bludgeon
But censorship don't look good on her bibby
