What The Heck Is Going On? I'm Confused and Disoriented

I posted this on March 14:
After string of ads, here's kudos to Mayor By Marilou WarrickMorris resident. Hopefully, the negative ads aimed at our dear Mayor Kopczick have ended. He is highly valued as our mayor. He is a gentleman. His door is always open to us. Most of all, he honors God. He is pro-life. As a registered Republican, I am happy and proud to cast my vote for Mayor Richard Kopczick.ps. I like Scott Belt, too. He is doing a great job as our city attorney.

Then I posted this on April 30.
Heritage Project Illinois Reports: Stop Mayor Kopczick's raid on our school and park funds
This week, The evil Morris Mayor Dick Kopczick will try to get the city council to approve a city budget that would raid the city's tax increment financing (TIF) fund of $9 million ... to pay for a new, palatial city hall.Those TIF funds are meant to help fund our schools, parks, and clean-up of blighted areas, such as the old paper mill property.This is also money that could help provide property tax relief for the hard-working taxpayers of Morris.Furthermore, it is possible the the evil mayor will try to get the lame duck members of the city council to approve this budget before the newly-elected members of the city council are sworn in on Tuesday morning ... because he doesn't have the votes on the new council. We must protect Morris schools from the evil mayor's raid on the TIF fund.A new, big city hall may be a nice luxury - a luxury our city cannot currently afford. Morris is struggling to meet other financial obligations - including ongoing litigation and debts incurred due to the landfill situation - and does not need to spend this kind of money on a new city hall. Call City Hall today at (815) 942-5438 and tell evil Mayor Kopczick to stop this raid on our TIF funds.Everyone is also urged to attend the City Council meeting this Tuesday, 10 a.m. at Morris City Hall (320 Wauponsee Street).The Morris Daily Herald reported last week that the city is already planning the groundbreaking ceremony for this new building - before the funding is even approved. Only YOU can stop this raid on our tax dollars and only YOU can prevent forest fires.

Positive Morron is NOT confused. Nor do I ever contradict myself. Positive Morron has spoken.
