"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

An Apology

I've just gone back through several posts and removed reference to a particular employee. It makes little difference to the post or over-all context.

But it did cause the employee distress and that I regret.

I hope I have conveyed the message of change witnessed during this term and how the body corporate has been re-shaped to promote the political fortunes of the Mayor and her followers.

And the cost to the municipality.

People used to further that end are not the culprits. In varying degree, they are its victims, as is the community.

Although, like the community, some of them may not see it that way.

You may have removed the reference but I sincerely hope the young man is being very careful about how he carries out his job responsibilities. I hope he understands clearly to what (the town) and to whom (the taxpayers) he is responsible and that he is not employed by the mayor.
