IT IS SUCH A DISTRESSING FACT TO FACE THAT THE VERY PERSONS WHO VOTED FOR OUR MAYOR, HIS CONSTITUENTS, NOW MUST FACE THE TRUTH OF WHO HE REALLY IS AND HOW HE BLATANTLY USES OUR CHILDREN AS PAWNS FOR HIS MOST PERSONAL AGENDA. THE SAME OLE GAMES ARE STILL BEING PLAYED THAT WERE PLAYED OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO; THE SAME PROMISES ARE BEING MADE. ONE THING IS TRUE!!! IF THE PROMISES THAT WERE MADE 30 PLUS YEARS AGO HAD BEEN KEPT, NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE TERMS “UNDERUTILIZED” OR “UNDER-RESOURCED!”
Black man and woman, please stand up and do for self. We have all we need…each other.
