You’re right. Even the RG says the council/mayor no longer have to tolerate bigotry to succeed. There's progress! :) Its simple too, my daughter wants a chance at life, though perhaps you do not have kids in classes where teachers use their own money for class materials or don’t have computers in a “city” that asks nothing of Symantec. The city’s future is either something the mayor can or can’t help. After asking 67 people the (“We're not Eugene!”) mayor’s name and finding only 4 who could name her, my running to do more than ‘simply’ pretend we’re creating new jobs for our dropouts - doesn’t mean creating a circus. And “further positive changes” of Springfield’s downtown reputation, are largely from 'out of neighborhood' money and customers, uh, most from the dread “Eugene” like Planktown, so maybe its ok to question you/Lundberg saying those are her successes. The mill economy died 40 years ago there Spring, maybe its my daughter’s time instead to finally get the truck in gear?
