In what appear to be Jane Murray's last days in office, Madam Mayor seems to be getting more and more delusional.
In a recent Portsmouth Times article, Murray was asked:
Why should citizens of Portsmouth vote against your recall?
Her answer was that she has many projects to complete. When asked to give an example her is what she said. (Click
here for the article).
“I’m working on a plan to bring solar arrays and to do a pilot project with the Sunrise Reservoir site. We have room for the solar arrays, we harvest the energy, and we operate the pump stations and so forth." (Murray: There's Lots of Work To Get Done, Ports. Daily Times, 12/5/10)
Maybe Jane should drive up to the reservoir sometime.

| (Jane Murray plans to install solar panels on deteriorated Sunrise Reservoir) |
This was her example of the great ideas she has for the City of Portsmouth: "Solar Arrays on the Sunrise Reservoir"? Obviously there a few problems with Jane's hare-brain idea.
1. Solar panels only work in the daytime and on sunny days. Water pumps have to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
2. Solar panels do not generate the high-voltage electricity needed to operate the City's water distribution pumps.
3. Tennis courts and softball fields, over the years, have been removed from the top of the reservoir, as well as a foot of dirt, in order to reduce the weight of the reservoir roof. Also vehicles are no longer permitted to drive on the reservoir for the same reason. Now Murray wants to add an array of solar panels to the reservoir. The vehicles needed to build and maintain Murray's planned "solar arrays" will not be able to drive on it.
As usual, this is Murray just talking out of her hat about things she does not understand. As we reported previously, one of the characteristics of
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is when a person:
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Jane thinks she is knowledgable about generating electicity from the sun. Unfortunately, judging by her latest hairstyle, we believe Jane's only experience Jane with electricity is from sticking her fingers in light sockets.
Another excellent piece of reporting !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me is that The Portsmouth Daily Times takes her wacko statements at face value and doesn't do the due diligence that you people do. The Times doesn't report-- they simply transcribe. And we as a community are poorer for it.
And your comment about electricity and her hairstyle was dead-on. And EXTREMELY funny! I haven't laughed so hard in months! THANK YOU!
Love your guys stuff, but was kind of hoping for a "tWas the night before the recall poem"
ReplyDeleteKeep it up tho

I wonder if you will write about Malone and all his antics as well
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIf David Malone sues the City, violates the city charter, cancels valid contracts to give business to cronies, fires three department heads on his first day in office on bogus charges, tries to hire a phoney engineer, spends money without city council authorization, etc., etc., etc., you will hear about it from us. But only an arrogant fool would do those things.
