Cugno's Nutty Cousin Calls Paul Donato "Dontano" and says that I "hate" the Mayor....He's related to Cugno so do the math



Cugno's Cousin writes about Paul "Dontano"

and links my classic poem!
The Ballad of Election 2017

There’s a blog run by a local man known for getting into fights with city councilors that made liberal use of ALLCAPS with dubious info. He’s not running, but he really hates the mayor. The impression I got was that this election wasn’t really for me so much as it was for people who had known the candidates since birth and already made up their minds.  

At the election party, my cousin, Cugno, fretted amongst supportive friends and family. We were in an Italian-American family club, incongruously next door to a metalworking shop. The news came in. She had lost. All the incumbents had won. Sitting at the bar, I watched my cousin talk with a group that included State Rep Paul J. Dontano.

“These guys sat on their butts for years doing nothing and they still won,” someone said. 

“People say they want change but then they vote in the same people,” said another. But I wasn’t so sure.
