Let's talk the truth. The meeting at the park was for members of that neighborhood. The majority of the individuals who attended were not even registered voters. Their opinion was that their views are not addressed and even if they were voters nothing could come of it. The flyers were distributed only in that neighborhood. As for supporting the losers of the past campagin. Some did some did not. The issue is beyond something political. To simplify it to that is ridiculous. In fact, a wife of one of the persons running for election against the present administration was asked to leave the meeting for that reason.
Let's talk about the facts not something you think happened at that meeting. Clearly, if this was a political agenda, this issue would have stopped after the election. If the opponents of the current administration had won, they would have to address the same issues. In fact, I invite them to address the issue now.
Again, I invite the losers, the winners and any residents to come out to the park and take your own survey. This is not only an issue addressed here on the pages of this forum. It is a topic that has been brought across the pulpits of the black churches by its ministers.
The new mayor and council does represent the entire community. No one is challenging that. I myself wish them well and intend to continue to do my part in volunterism. While I do not belong to HAPADA or any of the appointed counsels, there are some organizers of groups supporting this civilian review board who do belong to those various boards. I work with various fraternal, social and non-profit organizations who promote the well-being of children and adults in this town and will continue to do that no matter who is in office. Those organizations have instituted and/or sponsored recreational teams, scholarships, employment seminars, drug awareness and prevention groups among other things.
