Mice put the

bell on the cat

Hey, Speak Out, I read your Speak Out item on the 26th of April. I was really interested in "Are you Afraid?" To finish up the story about the mice.

He's going to

bankrupt us

Kaplan is going to bankrupt the city of Poplar Bluff. He is sending our money out of town to his friends and it's time to call the FBI. I mean the kickbacks -- there's gotta be kickbacks with this kind of money leaving our community. Why else would he do it? Two phone systems. One that is very adequate for roughly 34,000 and the other one a half million dollars. It's time to shut him down and send him packing.
