Max Weaver Enigma

Front line fighter for Mason City

Comes now Max Weaver; mystery, myth, misunderstood, hated, loved, envied, warm hearted, giving and dedicated, opinionated…..resolute.

I got to know Max several years ago when I entered the lobby of the City Hall building waiting for the elevator. When the doors opened out stepped Max Weaver. Quite frankly I really didn’t know what to expect, you see I had butchered him like a Prestige hog in news print…more than once.

It was what could be described as an difficult moment. As I looked down Max already had his hand out wanting to shake hands, that completely disarmed me. After several minutes of conversation I realized there before me was an enigma….this man wasn’t what he was portrayed to be….not even close.

Attire; Max wears clothes with holes in them….does he have to? No, it’s a choice he makes, I think it’s an act of defiance, an ” in your face” sort of thing. It also belies his actual intelligence….don’t be fooled by his wardrobe this is a very bright well researched man. His two sons were home schooled and are extremely bright and articulate.

Max has never used alcohol or tobacco by choice….his choice.
It seems the bulk of his adult life has been spent looking out for the rights of the downtrodden, the disadvantaged and the never ending struggle to unearth the truth. A commodity rarely sought in the world of politics. He was the spark that ignited the move to deny a burning facility to build in Mason City. Weaver was concerned about carcinogenic debris infecting the air especially as it was to be built near Newman School. It would be interesting to know that particular burning plant never found a community that would allow them in, not one but Bookmeyer without any testing of any kind….threw the doors of this community wide open.

Max Weaver wasn’t alone, there were multitudes who stood by him and in the end Max and his minions succeeded in keeping our city safe.

And now comes Prestage Farms with a monumental threat to this community, one far more devastating then anyone could ever imagine, one that will destroy the very fabric of not only this city, but also the whole of North Iowa. The cavalier stance taken by this council is truly one of the most egomaniacal displays of arrogance ever witnessed by those who conveyed one of their most valuable possessions to them….their vote.

The anomaly here is the school teacher….the one who teaches government; John Lee. Can’t you just see him pacing the floor in front of his class talking about democracy and the right of the citizenry to chose. This man was part and parcel of a conspiracy that if allowed to proceed will permanently decimate life here as it once was. He should resign his seat at the table…..and apologize to the many students he lied to. He doesn’t belong in a classroom.

John Lee is not alone in sequestering the truth in this debacle, each and every council person along with the mayor and city administrator shares equal fault in setting out to deceive each person living here….and they come very close to getting it done.

While a case might be made that the people from Prestage Farms are technically not lying to you, they are not reveling everything which is close to the same thing, maybe worse. This isn’t Prestage Farms first rodeo, there are no virgins in that hog lot. These people along with the help of the council, the mayor and administrator are going to carpet bomb all of North Iowa with pig shit! Seven or eight farmers who spoke at the council meeting will be driving the trucks; so the trucks are outside now….are getting in?
