Frustration over the issue, and appreciation and enthusiasm for those stepping up: this is what I see and hear in and around City Hall. Our leadership is willing to be active and in turn we need to show a willingness to communicate.
Saying, "I need trash cans, and there's illegal dumping in my neighborhood" isn't enough; we need to make contact and provide details. Both Councilmen Rizzo and Greenlee have encouraged phone calls and offered office assistance. Let's take advantage of it. I've heard outstanding ideas for litter authorities and street sweeping suggestions, and am curious to know how many of such have made it to our City Council offices. Sometimes, one more phone call is all it takes.
I'll be posting comments from our two 2007 Mayoral candidates tomorrow. Their statements, in addition to Council's proven awareness, show that our leadership is listening. It's only fair we express our mutual feelings, and give them something to listen to.
