If I’m ever elected to a political office, I’m doing this all the time. Period.
Cranston Mayor, Allan Fung, is going to be holding a series of community discussions addressing community concerns, the first of which will be held at the Church of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Parish this Wednesday at 6 o’clock.
To me, being a real public servant is all about addressing the community, collaborating with them to attack concerns, and executing on what you’ve promised them. While Kmareka seems to want to focus on who Fung’s opponent will be next year, doesn’t it make more sense to focus on what issues we’d like the mayor to address – I’m speaking to Cranston residents now.
Indeed, with Mayor Fung stating that we may have to spend more than a 1/3rd of our rainy day fund to make up for the current deficit, is the major issue who will be the Democrat’s choice for mayor next year? As we’re slashing, bobbing and weaving, and ducking for cover in this minefield of an economy why must the left always focus on getting their man (or woman) into power while ignoring the difficult times facing the nation? I’m casting a wide net here and it isn’t that wide, but here’s my generalization for the day, liberals in this state try as hard as they can to negate the positives of any Republican/conservative without regard to whether or not what they’re doing is good or bad. Why? Because it’s all about the D…the big D…in D-emocrat.
I’ll get off my little tangent and just ask that Cranston residents try to attend these meetings and ask the Mayor hardhitting questions about your concerns. Because regardless of his party label, we’re facing difficult times ahead and we need him to make the best possible choices he can.
