Editorial: Mayor Brantley: Why weren’t we all informed by the town that this tow-truck sneak-attack was going to occur? The town should have announced loudly that they were going to actually implement the ordinance this time. This thing comes across like a covert operation. The Mayor hides behind the ordinance, but how about giving us a break Mayor? Did you really have to tow these cars after that puny snow storm ? How about some common sense at Town Hall?
Mayor: Do you actually know anybody who lives in Ocean Grove? We are people, not some abstract concept in your book of ordinances. How about coming to town today and explain to Grovers the erratic enforcement of ordinances and the bully tactics on your watch in our town. Grovers should march to the Mother Ship and occupy your office.
Fellow citizens: It’s really disappointing to me that no one informed us of this story. If just one person who was towed had contacted us, we could have had this story up two days ago and warned everyone about the invasion of the car snatchers. We can’t succeed as a reliable source of OG news without the help of the public!
