Editorial: Them That Fight, Toil Not in Vain

And I thought my mind was out of control…REALLY Mr. Mayor. Asking the good folks of Easton to let you know when and where something DIDN’T happen. Excuuuuuse me? I may be dim at times, but HUH? What exactly do you mean? Threatening to sic your lawyer on a resident for speaking his mind during his allotted time? Are you out of control? I’m Just Asking.

Many, many thanks to House of Crayons for being our steadfast soldier, for keeping us interested in our city, and especially for speedily putting the City Council audio on this website for those of us who can’t get to the meeting. My entertainment this dreary Thursday morning was to listen to the sheer ridiculousness of council and our super-hero at the helm who nearly went over the City Council table with a single bound. If only we had video to go with this mornings very informative audio.

The garbage talk was more of the same, but those of you who came to talk about Riverwalk are our warriors. Your enthusiasm and courage are unwavering and irresistible. You make me proud to know you. You fight the good fight when some of us get too tired. Thank you from the bottom of my pacemaker.

Our city residents are extraordinary. They are well informed, they volunteer, they sit through endless long drawn-out meetings, they give credit where credit is due and even encourage others to move here and be civil activists. Thanks to the exceptional residents who gave up their Wednesday evening to guard our town.

I for one am looking forward most anxiously to a new regime. Can we elect a new set of fresh faces of intelligent folks who can add and subtract during budget time? A group who can work with the city departments and not against them? Could we possibly elect a collection of interested residents and not just career politicians? I am…

Just Asking
