To Those Who Only Moan & Groan

Last evening the Fix Trenton's Budget held the third informational session. There seemed to be a good crowd; I couldn't judge as this was the East Ward session so I don't know if there were new people or just the regulars. Bob Lowe did an excellent job presenting the budget process. Bob is comfortable talking to a group, his presentation is logical and easy to follow, AND he has no problem saying, "I don't know," if he doesn't know. The budget mess concerns all of us - every one of us - you and me both! Yet the turnout has been underwhelming! The South Ward session last week had about fourteen people only three were NEW faces. Hey, Trenton, this is your chance to make your voices heard. What do you feel we need? What do you want? How much are you willing to pay? Here is an opportunity to make known your thoughts, your needs, your wants known. And who takes advantage? A handful of people who have, "involved," for years. The same old crowd. So when your taxes go up - and they will - shut up! If you can't get yourself out to a venue for a few hours to find out how the budget process works and how you can contribute/control it, you deserve what you get.
