I Take This Line Back

" I don't believe I have  ever seen anything quite like this."

It's not true. The last Council was a total nightmare.

It took Bob and Allison and Grace a little while to realise what they were dealing with.

Then Grace resigned. Bob is such an honorable man, it took him a long time to accept the reality. In his whole life in Aurora, I doubt he ever encountered anything like it.

How would one recognise it, if one has never seen it before?

A poster asks "What do we tell our children?"

You don't tell your children. You tell your Councillor.

You give them your take on things. You may  be reinforcing their own instinctive reactions.

They did not take over a perfect  or even a mediocre situation.

This group of Councillors mean well. They intend to do the best job they can. With one  obvious exception.

Turning things around to what it should be is hard for people who don't know what it should be.

What if they do it  wrong and make a mess.?

They need to hear from you. You need to tell them how you see things from outside  and challenge  them to  explain  why it should stay like that.

Is there any director at Town Hall that you don't have an issue with? No wonder they give you short shrift!

Councillors  will be hearing comments like that as well.

The administration is in charge.

 Perish the thought a  lowly Councillor  might  challenge a staff  recommendations on behalf of the people  paying the shot. She will quickly find out who is in charge and get short shrift in exchange.
