Disruption is the only plan

The Potato Bag Gang’s Disruptive Agenda

The so-called Potato Bag gang has revealed its lack of a constructive plan for Payson, focusing instead on creating chaos. At a recent special meeting, Charlie Bell, one of the group’s leading voices, openly admitted that disruption is their goal—and even tried to frame it as a positive thing. Seriously? Promoting discord for its own sake serves no one.

This group thrives on vague accusations of inefficiency in town management, yet they fail to provide specific examples or actionable solutions. Baseless claims and insinuations, without any supporting evidence, echo a tactic popularized by Donald Trump—a playbook the Potato Bag gang appears to be following closely.

One of their first moves under Mayor Potato Bag was an attempt to place Charlie Seraphin, a longtime KMOG radio ally, in the role of town manager. Seraphin, known for pushing right-wing narratives on behalf of the mayor, embodies a partisan agenda that undermines the community’s trust and cohesion.

Instead of sowing discord and mimicking divisive strategies, Payson deserves leaders with integrity and a vision for progress. It’s time for accountability and transparency, not chaos.
