Poor Hugh is such a grumpy old man and such a hypocrite. Hugh you say the dumbest things but I like you because you make me laugh. Every time I read one of your post I think to myself, "now there is a true idiot". Poor Hugh he has far to much time on his hands.

Lake Helens mayor and city commission will be lost without their puppet master Don Findell there to pull their strings and tell them what to say and do. Mr. Findell moved out of state months ago yet he continues to get his big fat pay check. Farmer Findell had a dairy cow named Lake Helen that he milked till she was dry and all used up.

Please pick someone who can tell the truth and be honest. Even the socialist city of Lake Helen needs a little trasparency.
