What are our county leaders doing for us.

I vote, therefore I have a right, and obligation to voice my opinion. As a matter of fact, as long as someone can speak, or make their opinions heard by some means, they have a right! We are in various levels in this recession, yet one is not better than another, nor without opinion.

Does that mean if someone can't speak or make their opinions heard by some means, they don't have a right/ have no rights?

That's about like saying we all wear the same size shoe. All concerns should be considered whether present at the meetings or not. That's the great thing about the internet! Even those who cannot get to a particular meeting can still voice their opinions! In fact, perhaps they should find out why the turn out isn't better, and adjust their policy!

Yes, the internet allows any yahoo with a computer, internet connection, and the ability to type to say whatever they want. The frustrating part is when said yahoo thinks they are doing something constructive.

While I disagree with FG about almost everything she says regarding useful community planning, this yahoo says your response above is elitist at best and downright rude at the worst. One or the other. This yahoo says take your pick.

Funny, for all of your posturing and whining I've never run into you at a single meeting that was geared toward bettering our community. In fact my only knowledge of any kind of community involvement was running for a pretty nice paying job that required little if any work.

So, would I recognise you if I saw you?! Or is your avatar close to your likeness!

So back to the original idea here -- what are our county leaders doing for us. I just watched a short video about a program in Chicago, that incorporates economic development, job training, rehabilitation of convicted felons, and environmentalism including recycling. Looks lke it also restores blighted areas with community gardens, though they don't specifically say so in the clip.

I hope our new WCEDA will consider the potential for such programs to benefit Walton County.

Talking to myself here, LOL. Here's a link to an article about economic developme that I believe has ideas in it Walton County could use.
