Ron Book is one of the finest lobbyists and most honorable lobbyists I know. He always gives a large percentage of his fees back to charity. If he wants to throw a big expensive wedding for his daughter, who are we to complain. It keeps the economy going and God knows the economy needs it.

Anbyody who spends $1 million for a wedding when people are starving in a recession is like Marie Antonette — “Let Them Eat Cake.” Remember what happened to her, Mr. Book. She was overthrown and her money taken away. Your day is over. You are old and you are through. You should have saved the $1 million.

Buddy:

Thanks for the kind words about our blog.

I want to stress, however, that oftentimes our “interesting” stuff comes from our readers via anonymous tip or a comment in the comments section. The wedding story is just one example, which was a comment from someone going by “Ron Book is a waste.”

The blog, and the changes finally happening at the courthouse, are now taking off because people aren’t so afraid anymore to voice their opinion or drop a line when they see something shitty going on (or find something just plain weird, which is my take on the wedding).

Thanks again,

Bill Gelin

Now we know what happened to all that money paid to Book to get The Davie Commons approved. He pushed a bad cause. He used the money for a good cause.
