Dave Wynn playing politics with July 4 Parade?

Is Plainfield's rec division director Dave Wynn playing politics with the July 4 Parade (which steps off TOMORROW, Saturday July 3, at 10:00 AM)?

That's the question that comes to mind when I found out that New Dems chairperson Adrian Mapp received a call from the Rec Division (but not from Wynn himself) late yesterday afternoon, advising him that the New Dems were being moved from position 28 in the 54-unit parade to position number 48.

(UPDATE, Noon: I am told by Adrian Mapp that the reason given by the caller from Rec for the shift in position was 'to put you in the more patriotic section' of the parade. Excuse me? The Independence Day Parade, and the 'more patriotic' section is at the rear instead of the front?! You might also want to read the rules and regulations pages of the document posted online and see just how patriotic everyone is expected to be. These people can't even lie creatively. Wait a minute! Could it be they're not lying?)

Here's a portion of the June 24 letter from Wynn to Mapp, assigning the group slot number 28 --

Wynn's letter assigned the New Dems slot #28.

Politics?

In Plainfield?

Please, Dave, say it ain't so.

Meanwhile, I'll be out with my camera tomorrow as usual, looking for you enjoying the parade, whatever position you find yourself in.

Here's the entire document from the Rec Division:
