Bedford Sucks

Yes, you've read it here already even if it has been slowly creeping into your mind over the past few years. Bedford at one time was a bustling small city of 13,000 people in South Central Indiana with a county wide population of 45,000 in Lawrence County, Indiana. At one time Bedford had a nice downtown with plenty of stores and shopping amenities including a small mall and shopping area on West 16th Street also known as Indiana 450.

Within a lifetime Bedford has been transformed into a collapsing community which is full of drug, drug dealers, crooked cops and crooked public officials.

These public officials rather than promoting the city and promoting economic prosperity have been interested in keeping Bedford in their own image of making sure it remains a place ran by their own little good old boy clique.

Even the current mayor and council has remained a total joke even though Bedford has had the same mayor for the better part of the last decade and the economy has been out of recession for several years. But instead of promoting the community and bringing in new businesses and retaining existing business, Bedford chooses to spend its money on wasteful government projects that really do nothing to promote the general welfare of the citizens.

Not to mention the city being worried about an old man with signs being one Sam Shaw, a longtime Bedford resident that has been harassed by the Bedford powers that be regarding his signs that are politically incorrect and obviously embarrassing to the crooks and criminals running Lawrence County.

Instead of improving the community economically and getting better paying jobs and opportunities for the people of the locality, they are more interested in retaining the control of the local good old boy network and people that are politicians and professional butt polishers with their lying lips.

All the while they smile and talk about the great jobs they are doing and how they are improving the community while more jobs leave the area and what jobs they have are low paying jobs in the services and retail industries which are also declining.

Just see how much Bedford has declined over the years and with the businesses that have left the city. Add in the fact that Visteon left years ago and nothing really substantial replaced that once booming plant. Add in the fact that GM Powertrain is now a fraction of what it once was and yet still Bedford decides to be a retirement community rather than a community desiring prosperity. That's the Lwrence County they wish for. Not one of prosperity but one where the city is wracked by drug usage, drug dealing and criminality.

After all, its a Bedford growth industry to have drug dealers and drug abusers along with all kinds of criminal behavior because it keeps the police in Bedford and the Lawrence County good ole boy system employed. Otherwise, they would have to start looking for other jobs in the productive sector instead of needing to add more cops and police patrols to keep the lowlifes and societal trash in line.

Bedford is too busy chasing down little old men that put up politically correct signs in their community that break some obscure and inane law proposed by a city council that polishes the ass of the current executive in the mayor's office.

Instead of promoting community development and job creation with new factories, pharmaceutical and health industries, they are promoting poverty and drug usage with their lack of jobs and economic creation.
