Local resident Bob Scazinski says, “The economy is rough…I’ve had to resort to drinking the Natural Light,” but continues optimistically, “At least they opened a Super Walmart in the neighborhood.”

Scazinski, whose past antics have included insurance fraud, public intoxication, cruelty to animals and battery continues a three month battle to keep his property.

“Some nights we see him perched in the tree on his deer stand, drunk as a skunk with a loaded shotgun over his knee…apparently the Sheriff has contacted him in regards to vacating the house, which he is reluctant,” comments Ruben Salazar, a next door neighbor and self-employed heating/AC technician. “The next morning we usually see an imprint in the grass like he fell from the tree and an empty bottle of Rumpleminz with vomit covering it.”

“Mo money, mo problems is the way I see it,” chimes Scazinski before adding, “My man Wesley is going through similar trials… we’ll both get by. I just accepted a short sale offer on the house, so we will see…we will see. I ain’t leaving ‘till they get me a goddamn check.”
