Wake Up Wilkes Barre
Lyrics
to “Grandma got towed by LAG”
Chorus: Grand-ma got towed by L-A-Ge
- ee...
Five hundred bucks with no
reprieve!
You may think that there is
no corruption
But we the taxpayers, we believe!
King Tommy was to sell the
parking
JJ Murphy his crony friend!
Three hundred dollars for
each hour…
This is what the city had had
to spend
City Council sits in silence
Rubber stamping for the king!
If not for one old police
chief…
Might as well be meeting in
Beijing
Chorus
Tommy filled up at the
station
Self importance like show
biz!
You may think that he is
honest…
But he treats the pumps like
they are his
Million dollars comes out of
no where
Like fairy dust from on high!
Where oh where did it come
from?
Watch Tommy move his mouth
and watch his lie.
Chorus
The city likes to takes its
junkets
Plush vacations oh so gay!
You might think that they are
learning…
But Kane and Barrett reside
at the buffet
There’s this guy Chief
Dessoyea
To booze and beer he makes
his shrine
You may want to see him sober
Just make sure you call
before its nine
Chorus
They call Wilkes-Barre the
diamond city
With bars and a cab-a-ret
But everyone knows the dirty
secret…
Extortion describes what’s
really “pay to play”
Tommy pouts while stuck in
sand-box
No more gas and no more glee
You watch the King he’ll get
even
Can you say Jeep Grand
Cher-o-kee?
Chorus
Call the police and get an
answer
“It is civil” they will say
Doesn’t matter what the crime
is
You have become the city’s
form of prey
King Tommy in the slammer
Is what wish and what we hope
He’ll meet a guy named Ezra
Oh how… oh how will Tommy
cope!
Chorus
VIDEO:
1) Google “Grandma got towed” on YouTube
We hope you enjoy the song
and the video on line. Perhaps it made you laugh.
But trust me…
this no laughing matter.
The Wilkes-Barre Auto
Theft Ring between Leighton (and all the police he intimidates to do his
bidding) and LAG Towing is nothing to snicker about.
This is about the Mayor, and
his accomplice LAG Towing, using his power to unfairly profit off of the most
vulnerable citizens. It is an altogether illegal, sickening, and morally
deprived scam.
The poor and the vulnerable
are targeted by LAG. He “prices them out” of their cars. With police backing
Leighton, these victims literally have no one to turn to. The people who can
least afford to have their cars stolen are being victimized. Many of us may
have been fortunate not to fall into poverty. But please consider what it would
be like to be cheated out of half your
net worth!
Obviously admitting to
shredding or eliminating seven years of records would be cause to fire any
contractor.
The pricing gouging would
provide more reason.
The fact that Leighton still
supports Glodzik is clear indication that he is involved.
Imagine what Glodzik would
reveal if he was taken down?
Leighton
to Glodzik:
“Leo, in return for the $50,050
and the campaign contributions (and whatever else)
that
you give me, I will order the police chief and the entire police force
to
… let you
charge whatever you want for tows and storage fees and
… let you
break the city contract and state laws like they weren’t written and
… let you
shred 7 years of records and
… let you
steal cars like “no one” is looking (it’s not like we keep count) and
… know that
you can’t be fired nor will you ever be charged criminally for “anything” and
… You will
be protected like a mob boss would protect “his own.”
Leighton
to police: “You are hereby ordered to protect my
boy Leo at all costs. Any disputes will be considered a “civil matter.” If
you decide to file anything criminal against LAG consider this to be a career
ending mistake.
Leighton
to himself:
“I will turn a deaf ear to any complaints. Any system for complaints
will be set up as a sham. This way I can clumsily and pathetically hang on to
my excuse for not firing Glodzik. It is easy to say ‘I have heard few
complaints’ when I refuse to listen.”

It is really awesome what you guys are doing.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Wilkes Barre needs something like what Kennilworth Borrough in NJ recently did in conjunction with NJFOG (New Jersey for Open Government) activists.

Looks great but our King would never step right up, and even if he did would we trust what was published?
DeleteWhenever his lips move its a safe bet he's lieing!!!
Out West in the "old" days, when you stole a mans horse (equivalent to your car today), they would either hang you from the nearest tree, or drag you with a rope around your neck till you died !!! Stealing a mans horse was the same as taking the food out of his family's mouth.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the DA in this??
Believing the lies of The King?
