Double Standard

It would appear that there are people in this city who like to live with a double standard. There are those that think they are doing good for this city. Unfortunately these same people do absolutely nothing for our town. I am tired of people coming to my door with fliers about blogs that are little more than a public "slamfest" against our community. These are not people sent by the "city" as I was told when they handed me the flier. I was told it was a "community blog" that the city had set up to promote togetherness.
How can we come together when all we do is show negativity? We need to serve as a portal to a new way of thinking. Do not trash your neighbors, do not down talk people who are doing good for their community. If you have an issue with this community perhaps you should try to better it by volunteering. This would do make a far better impact than standing up at every council meeting and wasting people's time.
When I look at some of the other blogs I see that, "the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many". My site is aimed at the "many" that have no voice because they are drowned out by the "VOICES" of those that want everything for themselves. PLEASE!!!! The next time you want to post something make it constructive. Keep it neutral, keep it real and keep it community based.

Getting the Facts Straight

I thought we needed an area for people to post the truth about common misconceptions related to our city such as: Budget, Taxes, Disputes and so forth. We all need to become more aware of the operations of our city so that we may understand the issues from all sides. Many people in this city look at only one side of an issue and take it as fact. If we help each other to understand how the city functions then perhaps there will be less disagreements over non-issues.

Community Event Post

Use this space to post upcoming events in our community

Kudos to You!!!

This post section is aimed at acknowledging those within the community who go above and beyond to serve our city. Whether they are a city employee or a citizen who goes the extra mile, we need to show our support.

The time has come to take action!

Far too often we sit and talk about what should be done and who should make it happen. Unfortunately, this is as far as the action goes. We need to stand behind our words and help this community thrive. Public events, gatherings and volunteer time are all ways to make a difference. These things will have a far bigger impact than sitting in a living room complaining about lack of change.

Election Time Is Around The Corner

Speak out with your thoughts on the campaign trail. Give advice and ideas to further the cause.
