Choose your battlesI think somebody on this forum is out for blood. I'll bet if you read through the whole code book you could find several more pieces of dirt to dish about. But please, get your facts straight first. Getting people riled up about real problems is one thing. But just because you're pissed off that something isn't working out the way you want it to is not a good reason to pick a fight. If you're going to spend that much energy, spend it on something productive. There are a whole lot of things worth fighting for in this town.OK - so the board isn't getting to do the Master Plan. Move on. Fight for what is really pissing you off. The incompetencies of the director and her boss. As a citizen you have every right to expect your tax dollars to go to something worthwhile. If its being pissed away on crap, fight about that. |
