But rather than poking, we needles should subscribe to a quilting strategy. The quilt's squares (strategies) being:
- Talking to the right people at city hall.
- Educating oneself on
- Engineering terms -- i.e. combined or separate sewer infrastructure -- to better communicate with the operational people of the city,
- Related and competing issues the city faces, to better understand the problem solving hurdles of city government.
- Identifying what is required of city government to have an infrastructure that is compliant
- Testing the infrastructure for compliance.
- Improving the infrastructure for compliance.
Then, the term tort could be a very attractive square on the quilt. There are professionals that make a living at helping citizens obtain the city services to which they are entitled.

As I commend your efforts with the flooding in your area it becomes rather upsetting that there are other areas just as bad or worse and yet you seem to be getting the attention. Is it the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" it is sad that t has come down to "I WANT MINE" and everyone forgets about the others that are also impacted.
ReplyDeleteThis City is teetering on financial destruction and you people are still screaming about "yourselves" The first effort needs to be taking back control of our City. Get rid of the Aldermen and make them trustees at large. Then address the powers of the City Manager who does not care about anyone except himself.
You all have legitimate concerns and problems, but there are areas "older" than your homes that need to be addressed first.
