[WardFive] Re: [ward5] Grosso's Community Passes

This has nothing to do with Grosso -- it could be Kenyan and the rest.

 

So, Why do people have to go all the way downtown to get these passes.  Instead of using this for a "political stunt",  why not have the passes available to the community on those days -- it the intent is to be for the community. 

 

1.  Pick up day of at MCI center, so that it saves folks time.

2.  Be available at Stores in Neighborhood

 

I never understood passes going to CM's offices -- they should be a certain amount allotted to the community on a 1st come, 1st service basis.  Maybe we should evolve to:

 

Why don't they give this opportunity to folks on Public Assistance first? (not that I don't enjoy and made use of an $8 ticket before)

Why doesn't some of Jack Evans's Constituency funds pay for these tickets instead of Ball Park tickets behind home plate. 

Why don't they hold a fundraiser or ask residents to contribute to ticket purchases for kids on Public Assistance?

 

At some point in time, I hope that our CM's hire some people who are critical thinkers with the compassion for addressing the issues not marketing their agendas.
