SCROOGE Mc“OWOSSO”

When I was a kid, I read a lot of comic books. That is how I became a “good” reader. My favorites were Superman and Scrooge McDuck. We don’t have a Superman in our Metropolis, called Owosso, but we do have a close resemblance to Mr. McDuck. Let me explain:
I envied Scrooge. He had so much money. He had a swimming pool full of currency and he always enjoyed diving into it. I wanted to be just like him.
But there was one thing I didn't like about him, he would not share his wealth. No matter how much he had, he always wanted more. This brings me back to Owosso. I have attended almost all of the Owosso City Council meetings over the past year. I have noticed a reoccurring theme. They don’t like to share.
Our water works system is top notch. When they ask for something, whatever they want, they get. I understand the concept of “A stitch in time saves nine”. But I also understand the difference between a Cadillac and a Chevy. Maybe its time we start driving a Chevy.
