Re: [WardFive] Disheartening - to say the least!

Mr. Peloquin,
 
Look - I can understand some nepotism as it relates to folks getting Jobs in a field that they are capable to perform but not all the other crap that occurs. They are there to serve.
 
And you are dead wrong - it is the fault of every official and especially the fault of 1.  One CM could step forward and ask the tough questions, put forth the tough legislation so that others would have a tough time explaining publically why they won't vote for it.  You don't need campaign funding when you are doing your job in the era of technology that we live in.  People get it. 
 
It is even more embarassing when Black Officials does the things that they are doing -- especially when it is our children and our schools and our workers who are the ones suffering and getting displaced. Why should our kids have to continue to suffer? Why should we as a community have so many who are stressed out about all that is occurring?   
 
It is just sad.

Rob, I feel your pain! Thomas Paine,(no pun) a founding father was, as were many, including Jefferson, highly skeptical of the power and capriciousness of government.   If we depend upon the (my words) government, we will be dissapointed.  Paine said, that Goverrnment in its best form was an irritation, in its worst an anathema!

Dear Community,
 
As I go to sleep tonight, the most disheartening thing about all that we as a community have to go through is the deceipt, trickery and cunning approaches to everything that occurs amongst our representatives in the Govt. It is a shame that we have to go through the stress that we do just to protect our kids, teachers, schools, land, etc. because everyone and everything seems to be for sale!!
 
Just Sad.  Too much like right and respectful to have our Representative and their staff to come clean and just be open about the discussions regarding our communities/city. It is like waking up everyday and experiencing what our neighbors in Bloomingdale did with feces in their basement - that's some real sh**!!!
 
It is just really SAD!!!
