Democracy at Work

This came from the comments section:

It is not in the nature of politics to elect the best person since, by definition, the best man or woman does not desire to govern their fellowmen. Given this general truth, the office (through the citizenry) should seek the official, rather than the official seeking the office.

In and around 60655, there are many talented individuals who express their devotion to our community through acts of volunteerism. Let's recognize their commitment.

Start a post seeking comments that identify individuals who display the traits we seek in a public servant. Let's help the office find its official.

Okay, so who in the community do you think should be the official in office. Remember we want individuals who display the GOOD AND HONEST qualities of an elected official, not the norm we are use to in Crook County.

Open Post 5/11 through 5/17

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all you moms and moms to be a very Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy your day.

What do you want on 60655 blog?

I get a lot of email bashing the site....oh well, so be it. This site is actually for all of you, so what would you like to see on the site. I have my people who love the polls and those who don't. Someone out there loves the hangman game. What do you like or dislike that you want to see added or deleted. This blog has been up for almost 5 months and is still a work in progress. Thanks to all of you who contribute.

Some Misc Info

There will be an information-packed meeting for business owners in May at Fat Tommy’s new location, 3031 W. 111th St . It’s guaranteed to be a worthwhile use of everyone’s time.
(Date and Time to be announced). See the Mount Greenwood Local Redevelopment Corporation.

LaFiesta will be expanding their parking lot this Spring/Summer (looks like they will taking over the old used car dealership next door).

Looks like the new Fat Tommy's will be opening very soon. It looks good. There will be outdoor seating and they will be selling ice cream too.

That's all I have right now... happy Friday!
