If only we had real exposure. So much goes on behind the scenes in city government that the citizenry know nothing about. The administration is bloated, the corruption is deep, the incompetence is apparent and always gets covered up with excuses and taxes. Salines elected officials lord over us.
If that is what you actually believe, then get out, run for something, and become part of the process.
Ali, I do not know you, nor do I believe we have ever met, other than here, behind our computer screens, voicing our opinions. I read all you have to write, very articulate, well said, etc.
