@ John

You are a former coach, is that how you get near young boys?

You like young boys don't you, are you a Catholic Priest as well...they like boys as well.

Now go play with yourself instead of little boys...leave the kids alone, they know how to play baseball without people like you hanging around.

Thanks Terry

I remember you came to my house and we talked about Debary. I have owned a home here long before the idiots in Debary were stupid enough to vote themselves into a city.

Very proud that I do not live in the more arrogant sections of town like River Oaks ,Glen Shabby or Debary Golf and Country Club where arrogant americans think they are better because of their mortgaged mini mansions and cheap golf clubs.

There are some nice people in those imperial sections of crimebitten Debary, not all americans are arrogant. materialistic and ignorant.

I have traveled all over the world from Russia, Tunisia,Israel,Brazil and never met anyone as vicious and arrogant as some of the people in have met in Debary,Florida at city hall meetings and that pathetic UGLY HEARTED Arts Center. But some of the nicest people I have met have been in Debary as well, few have anything to do with Debary government.

I am not a politician so can afford to tell the country club /Arts Center scum what I think of their manipulative politicing and begging from the city.

Come visit Debary....a snotty city where someone will break into your house

Mort you can talk for me anytime , especially since we usually agree on most issues....why because we still have some common sense. Christ now you live in a trailer according to some, fortunately I live down the street so I know it to be untrue. Then you have other people writing in trying to impersonate you, but there are those of us that know yuor style and realize its an imposter, besides I know you travel the world and have access to better!!

@TC

Change always occurs from the sideline, are you on drugs or just ignorance?

What comes next is the death of the dollar you empty headed fool.

Mommy and Daddy can watch Nascar and baseball but their kids will not be able to buy a job.

What happens when people are broke whether they work or do not because the dollar will not purchase anything?

Maybe the wealth and games are over for Imperial America the most arrogant/broke nation on planet earth.

Your kids are not going to need baseball , video games and arts ****....they better take the rose colored glasses off their stupid parents. They better learn how to survive in a post wealthy chaotic nation that their spoiled parents left them.

Financial collapse.....that is next for imperial america....I do not want it, but it is inevitable...tell your precious little kids what you left them. Tell em right MR TC?

@ Morton - Why the hatred for the city? If it makes you so unhappy then move somewhere else. I have lived here for 23 years and do not agree with everything the city does but to spew the hatred you do suggests you need to have your meds adjusted.

As for Little League? Back off. As a former coach and big supporter of the League it's a great activity for our young people. By attacking Little League you are attacking the kids and that just isn't acceptable.

Maybe Lita, who is a realtor, can get you a quick sale on your trailer and you can go back up north where you obviously came from.

Morton, will change occur from the side line?You and many others on both sides have the spirit and vision for change. The method needs to change. CPI,Gateway and many others have happened.Now what,what is the next step?

@ TC

This spewing is going somewhere...it got you thinking didn't it? It got you to react didn't it? Most americans do not think, they are too busy entertaining themselves and their illusions about our bankrupt/rich nation, it is part of our vulture culture.

Me.. run for office...LMAO. How could I represent spoiled americans that want to hear what they want to hear? The truth is political suicide, " Tell the people what they wanna hear and run for office, tell people the truth and run for the border".

It is legal for non profit BUMS to operate ,look at GUIDESTAR.COM...see how much these legal bums make. Enter a zip code 32713 and see how tax loophole joyrider Gateway Arts Center Inc is doing..after they got a FREE $3.5 million building from government, Pat Northey sat on their board of directors. Ask Pat how much money Sandra Wilson manipulated from the Volusia County Cultural Council this year, last year and the year before that, as Sandra Wilson sits on that same council. Part of a legal situation where taxpayer are bilked by bum non profits that pay no taxes.

Volusia County has its own corporate welfare system...just for the ARTS and Culture BUMS they got $660,000 last year from the taxpayers thru the VCC...AS I said a VULTURE CULTURE getting free money from people that get taxed

Dial zip code 32115 see who made $20 million, from a po box in Daytona,look at the rest of the THOUSANDS of non profit bums that avoid taxes...look at em you fool.

It is all part of this great fraudulent nation that GOD BLESSES...LMAO. God Blesses america, all other nations must move to the back of the bus because of superior americans

Me run for office...well at least you have a sense of humor...I already have a job...an honest job.

Try spewing the truth...that has zero to do with politics

It is obvious that Mortons hatred of matters he does not agree with has become nothing short of fanatical.He refers to subjects and organization that are operating with in their legal rights.One might think he would step up to the plate, put big boy pants on and seek pubic office and possibly make a difference.If the bums and welfare seekers are so illegal and bogus why are they not shut down.It's not Pat Northey It's not Sandra Wilson it's acceptable, right or wrong. So one would think Morton would

go for it. He can be well thought out well written and offers great insight at times. Just as the people he threatens and mocks do.It might be his nature to remain the Monday morning Q.B.. who knows maybe he will surprise us!!

This spewing is really going nowhere.

@ question?

OFF topic...so what?

Lets get on topic...Debary Government keeps getting larger and more expensive..YES/NO?

We should laying off at the Parks and Rec dept to compensate for the new hires at Public Works. Lets shut down some parks and let the people Debary be responsible for their own GD RECREATION...how about that?

Since when has government been responsible for paying for recreation, arts, culture...all that should stand on its own.

We need LESS government not more government,look at the Debary VCSO substaion...that shows the twisted priotities of Debary. Compare that to Pat Northey and Sandra Wilson's disgraceful $3.5 million art center. The ARTS BUMS at Gateway Center for the Arts should be at the location of the VCSO substation and vice versa.

Debary is a crime bitten community that needs more security than it does all these ridiculous uneccesary parks and art/culture foolishness.

As far as Debary's aging infrastucture, it is no worse than any other town in the USA....fix it with money saved by closing down parks and wasting money. Look at the Debary budget very closely....$500K fo new parks, $25K for fireworks....the Debary budget is full blubber.

Infrastucture first...I agree now tell the bums at the ARTS CENTER Inc , Parks and REC, little league Inc CPPI,etc. Tell em all about it.

Once again we have a selected few that do not stay on topic.In my day attending school especially high school my English teacher graded students on this.Iam reading an article on Alan Williamson and the public works department and see nothing pertaining to this.Whats with that? Maybe they need to be in another blog. Congratulations Alan and our new public works department.I hope future comments can remain on topic.

@ Really Now: From the January 16th Workshop:

Phyllis Butlien, Treasurer for CPPI, spoke at the workshop on the 16th: "You (City) have paid and sponsored some of our (CPPI) events..."

We've given them money and we've sponsored their events - this from the treasurer's own mouth.

More importantly, it's ok "Really Now" for Mort to speak only for himself. Who says you get to write the rules that someone must have two or more people to agree before exercising one's 1st Amendment rights? Sounds like those people who want to say what they want to say but everyone else has to shut up. I don't think Mort stands alone, but even if he does, are you saying he can't express his opinion? There is a group of people in DeBary who are trying to suppress freedom of expression and factual information.

@ Really Now

Watch the August 16th 2012 Video Archives for the Debary workshop concerning this issue.

Watch as Marcia Steele of Chris Carson's Community Partnership Program INC. threatens to shut the whole fireworks celebration down if the city does not put $25,000 in the budget.

This bogus pathetic CPPI organization starts expensive garbage like this and dumps it into the city's lap.

Both the Kovals comment correctly that all these stupid celebrations started out not costing the taxpayer anything but NOW...they want the city to pay for their foolishness.

The CPPI is just another non profit beggar corporation that deserves nothing from the taxpayers.

Look at the entire spectacle of badgering and begging that took place at that meeting from Marcia Steele for the CPPI, a bogus bum corporation that never even had thier 501c3 status certified.

Our councilmembers need to start showing some backbone against these non Profit BUM corporations that plague the city with their BEGGING and manipulating.

Representatives for these BUM corporations should have to be registered as what they are LOBBYISTS. There should be a non refundable fee of at least $2500 for any BUM lobbyist to even apply to get their items on the agenda.

That might keep the BUM non profit corporations away from the city treasury

BUM non profit corporations like Team Volusia INC. CPPI INC, Debary Little League Inc. Gateway Center for the ARTS INC. need to support themselves and quit politicing and begging from government.

Firecracker Carson and his friends need to pay for their own fireworks shows.. Debary is $10.5 M in debt...celebrate that.

Morton, I have heard you comment at almost all of the council meetings in DeBary and I see that you always stand alone. It was stated at one of the meetings that the city of DeBary has not given Community Partnership Program Inc. any money. The city budgeted $25,000 for community events not for fireworks. Please get all your facts in line before you make assumptions. Next time, speak for yourself and not for ALL the people of DeBary.

These Liberal cats must have been inspired by King Obama's State of the Union speech last week!

What does Chris 'Firecracker' Carson know about anything? He works in government where money is free and the taxpayers have to pay the bills.

'Firecracker' Chris and the rest of the Debary City Council can take ownership of those two mini parks that just cost $500,000 plus the $25,000 worth of fireworks money Chris Carson's Community Partnership Program INCORPORATED will recieve.

They can take ownership of the thousands in needless spending for the Debary Little League INC.which is another parasite non profit corporation that comes to Debary for MONEY...indirectly of course.

As if the pipes and culvets are not old in any other community....GET REAL. OH ..it is just Debary that the infrastrcture is aging!

Debary city government keeps getting larger and more expensive...ask MR Carson and his liberal friends on the city council all about the tax increase they approved...ask em at 386 668 2040 or get their numbers from the Debary City website. Ask those city council members why they censured the Mayor right AFTER he voted against THEIR uneccesary tax increase..ask em.

Come to a Debary City Council meeting watch as our big spenders Koval,Carson,Hunt,Lita and Parrott waste taxpayer money and call it government.

Come see our new $460,000 Splash Pad Park after that you can go to Gemini Springs Park and watch your car get broken into.
