"HEART OF GOLD" neal young

Met the new City Manager at Andy Flocks Town Hall Meeting Thursday evening. I will tell you he left me with a good first impression. Even without an R.S.V.P.

To cut to the chase THE topic of the evening was flooding. Most people asked what can and will be done. Mr. Carson answered concerns the best he could and he's probably hasn't fully moved in yet.

So most of the residents behaved in a respectful manner, but there's always one the wants to show off.
This one did his best to do everything but blame the rain on him. Can you promise me...
Can you show us your game plan.... Will you contribute your perks.... A real class act. So he can go home tonight tell his family as well as his neighbors, "I told that new city manager a thing or two." Yes you did and the next time it rains you and your neighbors will have the same foot of water in your basements. What have you accomplished?

Also in attendance was former councilman Hal Werner who pontificated to the new city manager why we were there, and to introduced him to us? Along with who and what he did around here.

Speaking of council people none showed up? I at least thought some would come to get petitions signed.

My contribution to the meeting? I handed him a copy of Mr. Horvaths letter and pointed out to him it was 7 years old. Hey, I'm a patient person?

One city official who was thrown under the bus more than a dozen times was our city engineer. After all I heard last night he's gota lotta 'planning to do.

Mr. Carson's heart is in the right place lets hope he can figure some of our problems out?
