Anonymous, you are right! nothing good ever gets done by the useless ego maniacs that run for and get elected to positions in local, State, Or Federal government. who are after all elected to serve themselves and not the needs or desires of the communities that elect them. So I think I'll take your advise and find a way to raise the money for the betterment of my local neighborhood. I will start by getting Rails and Trails and local business that my benefit from foot traffic involved and then see what I can do to but an organization together to start raising the money needed to make this happen. Maybe I can Employ the Bridge Singer to stand at the top of the hill where the sidewalk should be and get my project noticed. what do you think?
