Musings For a Monday .....

Have you ever noticed some NA Common Council members consistently have their tag lines quoted in the newspaper about current issues without having spoken directly to the persons or organizations they are referring to?

Or how same individuals consistently arrive at a Council meeting without having ever opened the packets they've had for days prior, make statements to the effect that they've never heard of whatever the particular subject on the floor is, and yet claim be more knowledgeable about it than the persons doing the presentation that have in fact done the research?

Does anyone else wonder how the city can justify fining citizens for allowing leaves to clog the storm water system when said leaves are the by product of trees that stand on city right of ways? Or why there are two large vacuum trucks that were designed specifically for leaf pickup sitting idle in the city's Street Department yard?

Here is a good one. In the great scheme of things where we have oversight departments, planning meetings and such, why do we pave the streets before the utility company puts in the much needed infrastructure improvements instead of coordinating with them and doing so after the fact? Unless of course this is an around the mulberry bush way of accomplishing traffic control. Perhaps that is an answere after all!

Frustrated?? Not me! I just love seeing our taxdollars at work and my elected representatives doing their duty for our best interests as a community.

Have a good week!

Oh by the way, tonight is Common Council night. Come watch the fun!
