Forever
and a day there has been a yin and a yang when it comes to local
politics in this city – a certain ripple in the pond – a tear in the
moral fabric…well you get the idea. And then there has been this
small, annoying little voice in the back of the room that has grown
(only slightly) and has latched itself onto rhetoric and conjecture to
the point where it just isn't funny any more.
This pervasiveness
seems to have found its way to certain local print and online outlets
in a really distracting manner. Not distracting to us, we get why they
bang their drum, but distracting to the people who matter – the readers
– the average, every day people on the street that look to these very
print and online information sources for some insight on what is going
on.
We applaud the Mayor for bring people into the process,
giving them access to online resources so that their voices can be
heard. At the end of the day, there is nothing more important than
infrastructure and vital services, but there is always room for
cooperative discussion and feedback on budgetary issues that affect
everyone in this city. We can only hope that the print and online
information sources that have been to this point only luke warm to the
idea of coming together get on board, and quickly.
