Talaki, I don’t think that folks like you and I are failing the poor, and I don’t think that we lack vision either. We certainly don’t lack compassion.
What we DO lack, at this particular point in time, is leadership. As proof of this, I cite the failure of the Mayor and City Council to come forward with a good plan since the Sunny Jim site proposal fell through more than two years ago.
Several people on this blog and elsewhere have been trying to put pressure on our city officials to move forward – since we can’t really do anything without them – but their response has been glacial. Interestingly, they do seem to be able to move forward with other costly and contentious issues, like a new basketball stadium.
Meanwhile, the situation at Nickelsville/McGinnville continues to deteriorate.
I hope people here will follow through and keep putting pressure on our elected officials to DO SOMETHING about this problem. That’s the way forward.
