Trenton Could Use A Superhero

Hey Phoenix Jones. What does Washington have that we don't? Come on down and we will keep you busy for sure...

Comic book hero brought to life is something Mayor Mack hasn't tried yet. Betcha. We have a neat collector's bookstore where he could change into his costume...bullet proof vest, taser baton, super hero black and gold rubber wet suit...ready for anything our town requires.

We have the small town shopkeeper who needs lots of help so he isn't taken advantage of. Ahem. We have lots of single ladies waiting to be rescued from abusive bullies on street corners.

We have two newspapers that could be really good cover for a mild mannered reporter type. (L.A. Parker would do a great job covering this if it turns out he doesn't fit in the suit)

The Mayor might even find a super hero squad saves money. Outfitting and promoting (Strike Fear Into The Hearts Of Evil Doers) would be cheaper in the long run than keeping the same number of pension attached beat cops on the street.

Think of it.

West Ward gets bronze and gold, North Ward gets red and green, South Ward is costumed as blue and silver and the East Ward is blazing with yellow and scarlet. Each ward can pick its hero name and, if the Mayor likes the idea, how 'bout a trusty companion. Two can romp as cheaply as one, so how about hiring a little hero to tag along with the big one? Just a thought.

Seattle Washington has a number of "super hero" types that are seriously on the street to fight crime. This might be considered vigilante justice but, if a city is laying off cops, what is a civilian to do?

I wonder how you can tell if a guy in a mask is there to pick up your groceries or is going to bop you over the head.

Talk to me.

Are we in such bad shape that a comic book type looks better than the Mayor?

Trenton rocks.
