Thoughts on a Rainy Morning

Last evening I gave Irving Stoolmacher's suggestion of a Municipal Assistance Council a few minutes of deep thought and decided, "Why not?" A change, however. Let's have the Municipal Assistance Council Knot. First of all KNOT is a cute pun: knot = not. And we can call it MACK. OK. Let's get serious. I've had it with citizens' committees; serious, well-meaning, bright people attend and come up with great ideas. Really! The great ideas are ignored by both administration and council (it doesn't matter which administration and which council). Even Art Holland ignored good ideas; so did Joe Yuhas. If we TRULY want things to change, it is time to realize that both council and the administration work for US! We pay their salaries and benefits. If we TRULY want change; if we TRULY want things to get better, we must make it known that we, the voters & tax payers, are giving the orders not the other around. Again, Trentonians, go to council meetings. Express your displeasure. Let that crowd know the next time around you may not be so quick to elect them (and elected officials do not have unemployment benefits). The next coucil meeting is Tuesday, March 1 at city hall starting at 5:30PM. BE THERE!
