The AVERGAGE age of a bridge in this country is 46 years old. There's unsafe drinking water in cities throughout this country. Our public schools aren't keeping us in the lead, globally. Over 10% of the country does not have enough to eat and there are indications this number has doubled since COVID. <br /><br />Find me a purple-haired transvestite engineer who's qualified to run the water treatment plant and watch how fast I'd appoint they/them to the position. We have to stop being distracted by irrelevant b.s. while our elected officials are making poor decisions that are LITERALLY KILLING US.

The current Mayor is so self serving he doesn't even believe his own BS. His only thoughts are to blame everyone else-couldn't be his fault while not supporting his (their) employees, contributing to every Social Program ever thought of while watching & letting Jackson die slow, slow death..

Dale did what he could. He was the one who started the ball rolling on the construction of the O.B. Curtis plant. It took ten years to build the membrane side from start to finish. Why don't you ask why? Because Ditto, Melton, and Johnson, oh yes, the Council too, took their sweet time on it. It's quite fun reading. <br /><br />The mismanagement and neglect of the water treatment plants didn't happen under Danks or Ditto. Period.

And another thing I notice is, unlike so many of your columns and lead-in posts, it's easy to see who said what by the placement of quotation marks and the placement of comments to use the flow of the conversation - As opposed to scratching my head and trying to figure out what goes where and who said what and who shot John. <br /><br />I'm sure you inferred otherwise while comparing the two, but I see nothing to get excited over.
