Does anyone have an ego bigger than this guy? Every time you turn a page in a paper, there he is babbling. I don't think I have ever been in the presence of a more obtuse, arrogant person in my life. He is ALWAYS right, at least in his own mind.

He thinks the people love him. I wonder what the people would think if they knew he was publically against annexation, however, behind the scenes, he was lobbying for annexation in support of Mayor Goodnight....the same guy he stabs in the back and talks behind his back all the time. Greg, put on a flack jacket becuase his is killing you a slow death with all his back stabbing talk.

Hey Mr. Wyman, remember getting busted trying to sell Ralph Reddersdorf on annexation? Now that was a real hoot wasn't it? Then remember getting kicked off the tax board because of your behind the scenes deception in regards to annexation? I do. I even heard there is undisputable proof of it. Kind of like the old saying "Kodak doesn't lie".

Ask Mr. Wyman about sticking his nose in state legislative business and costing Howard County several thousand dollars in potential tax revenues in regards to a commutor tax. LOL. When he lies to you, contact Jim Buck or Dick Miller to get the truth.

How about the way you obtained the Vice Presidency of the council? What did you leverage Jeff Stout with? Not to mention good 'ol Jeffy Stout lying to many people and promising them he would not cast the deciding vote in your favor. Poor 'ol Jeffy is being exposed for the gutless wimp he really is. Many Have beleived he was your lacky and he just proved it.

Additionally Mr. Wyman, you want to get in the media and tell everyone you know what is best in regards to the YMCA and the Kokomo-Howard County Library as far a constructing a new Y or a new Library. As is the norm, you ignore that both of these entities have their OWN governoring boards and you pretend they don't exist. Why don't you, Greg Goodnight, Scott Pitcher, Dave Trine and Tom Trine just shut up and stay out of the YMCA and Library business.

Lastly, you are a county councilman, not a commissioner so stop acting like you are one. You worry about appropriating moneys to county government and let the other elected/appointed folks do their job.

Mr. Wyman, we all have figured out that in the end, you want what is best for you and your big fat ego. Your the biggest fraud in Howard County and are being exposed as such.

Wow, don't hold back - tell us how you really feel! I guess from this post, you are a person who seems to know Mr. Wyman quite well and also don't like him. He is a well known self-promoter, that is true. But when you have people like the Trines,Scott Pitcher, Mark Bowyer and then Goodnight in the mix, Wyman is small potatoes. His ego is inflated to be sure, but he is nothing compared to the others. He is a wanna-be. He wants to be whatever it is that he isn't. He started out here working FOR Scotty Pitcher and now he thinks he is so much better? They are all rotten apples from the same basket. They would just as soon stab each other in the back as they would do anything truly good for the community. If they can't talk about it, then it isn't worth doing. Egomaniacs or sociopaths? It is hard to tell sometimes with some of the things that happen in this town.

You obviously know Paul Wyman very well. No untrueths spoken here.

"Does anyone have an ego bigger than this guy? Every time you turn a page in a paper, there he is babbling. I don't think I have ever been in the presence of a more obtuse, arrogant person in my life. He is ALWAYS right, at least in his own mind."

If not for the title of this post, we would have thought you were talking about Greg Goodnight. His ego is so huge it seems to be growing right through his hair! He isn't a very good liar, he stutters and stammers in every speech he gives. He hasn't spoken the truth in so long that when he does, it is so foreign to him, he gets confused and gets flustered. It just doesn't come naturally at all. If you watch him speaking, he tries to appear so serious but he is just barely concealing his utter contempt for each and every person sitting in his forced audience of employees.

At this point he has about 9 real supporters left in city hall and the rest of us are just smiling and "yes, sir'ing" them to try to keep off the firing radar. He has achieved in such a short time what it took McPsycho 3 years to do; we hate him and his wrecking crew. Can hardly wait to NOT vote for the little sawed off ass. Go back to "no-classville" where you came from. We are all ashamed to have you as Mayor.

Good Job Paul, you have achieved your goal. You are thought of Just like your mentor and person responsible for bring you to Kokomo. Scott. Again, Great job on reaching your goal is such a short time.

Looks like Kokomo has found our next mayor.

LOL. Ol Paulie has got himself a challenge come primary time. Appears a very respected person will run against him in 2010. He sure has pissed a lot of folks off.

Yes, while its true that Wyman may be a fraud in some eyes, so are so many others and we have to live under their rules every day. We can bitch and moan all we want and there is nothing we can do about it other than NOT VOTE for them next time. I fail to see what is so difficult for some people about this very simple concept. We keep voting these people into office and then are disappointed with the results. They are all politicians and by the very nature of that, they are going to say whatever it takes to get elected. They will fashion what they say to whatever group they happen to be speaking to at whatever time, just to get your vote. Lesser of two evils and all that. Is one worse than the other and so on. They all have their own agendas and are going to vent them on the public in one way or another. Some more blatantly than others, but they will pursue their goals and the general public be damned. All the city and county workers can do is try to hold on to what little they end up with after all that shouting is over and see what the next politician has in store for them. Maybe the economy will improve and the public opinion will decide that they deserve to have a living wage, too. Being a civil servant (which is what all city and county workers are) is rather like being an indentured servant. You work and work and hope that the boss man tosses you something to get by on. You can't afford to give it up since there is nothing else to support your family with out there. They all seem to be too concerned with improving their own futures and who will run for what next to get new industry or save our city. The inefficiency is incredible. Those decisions get made by the same people that decide your wages and you don't get a say in that, either. The only time you get a real choice is in that voting booth. Remember that. You can bow and scrape every day at your job, no matter if you have to bite your tongue while you say "Yes, sir". There is always that voting booth waiting for what you really want to say and you are the only one in it.

I just stated on another thread that all politicians are crooks, liars, cheats, hippocrits, & self serving assholes. If you simply assume that up front , you'll never be disappointed in who you vote for. If you disagree, name me one politician who isn't at least one of the types I mentioned......

but you forgot ego-maniacs! It is just the devil you know (or have seen some of what they do) or the devil you don't know. The words "honest" and "politician" do not work in the same sentence. People can post all the bs they want about how "brave" a person has to be to run for office, but it is all based on ego. They believe they are better than the other guy or they won't run and that is all there is to it. Not that their ideas are better or they are more honest or any of the things we wish they were. Whoever has a better line of bs is who gets elected. This last election it was just voters turning against the man who was in office, not necessarily that they loved the candidate. Nationally and locally.
