Before that stupid scare letter from Doria last year I was content to sit on my fat ass and watch, eh maybe, the council meetings. Now I find myself getting involved by going to various meetings and such. This is something that I never once fathomed doing.
I find myself frustrated and angry at the snail’s pace that change is occurring. In some instances said changes have the feel of “Bayonne politics as usual!” Just as frustrating is the fact that people are complacent. Perhaps I don’t have the right to criticize since until recently I was among the ranks. But we must change. We need to speak out. There are a few of us who gather at the council and BLRA meetings. Sometimes we even get up and speak! But more importantly is the fact that we are there! Our city fathers know that they are not just speaking to the four halls. Unfortunately there are only a handful of us. Having a few others showing up from time to time would send a message to the dais that the citizens are interested in what’s happening to their town, and not just the regular suspects. And not just the big 'ticket' items like tomorrow night's hospital meeting. I invite you to stop by and say hello. But I digress.Rather than sit and kvetch about the happenings in town I started to communicate my feelings to council and forum members. Just recently I composed a missive which was sent to a number of folks about Mr. Doll and his interest in securing the Executive Director position on the BLRA. I would now like to share that email with you.
