Don Hall blew the whistle on the City Council's cabal at Engel's Pub recently but his courageous act underscores an even more serious problem facing Edmonds: our need for an Official Edmonds Town Tattletale.

For example, Salem, Massachusetts would have been an unknown backwater burg if it hadn't invented the practice of water boarding local witches. Who's to thank for it? Local snitches!  And what about Joe McCarthy? He would've just been another third rate politician if it wasn't for the hordes of right minded snitches lining up to report on left minded neighbors.

The City Council should create the post of Edmonds Town Tattletale as soon as possible. The individual selected would be issued a motor scooter and uniform and report directly to our town meter maid. His, or her primary duties would be to serve as a watchdog on wandering City Council members and on citizens who violate city dog poop scooping ordinances. It's time for our City Fathers, and Mothers to act!
