*\Brisk windy day, I went to a local town hall meeting~ the socialites
were opinionated and know it all staff had decided to share
meeting of the minds~ about what to do about the water situation
the developers were building as fast as they could to keep up
with demands~ the residents that pay high water and sewer bills,
decided no more, the water supply was down to bare minimum usage, take a bath or shower in five minutes, well that did not go over well!
Mr.Harrison refused to abide by the requests! He yelled at the president of the borough, the manager of the sewer plant and water quality supervisor, saying"Why the hell do you think I
pay my bills! to get five minute showers" no way Mr! I pay my bills
for the per agreement in gallon usage!what do you want me to do
go out and measure the usage per shower I take..if you want that you are crazier than I thought!
The president replied..Mr..please calm down and be seated please,
rules posted in the hall accordingly...he went out to the hall..
bulletin board got the papers off the board and took it in and
threw them on the table in front of the staff and the committee,
and told them to eat it..
Every one stood up and applauded his willingness to take a stand for himself and his community.
Once the crowd calmed down, the board said okay minutes taken on that, over time!.. 12 minutes..
Clouds must have been hovering over head, ready to burst as one lady, stood up and asked to be heard~ Mr.President refused to hear qualms of dog dodo all over the side walks and people not
taking responsibilities,~he replied call your local police officers
and have them enforce the dog laws! Well the~ hit the fan~
she used her temper to get their attention"as replying okay! I will make sure the pooches stop by your home for their deposits to
retained by you for evidence`````
Audience responded by clapping to the loudest echoes possible...
the cloud hovering over burst as the board adjourned the meeting
and the people choose to take up a partition to have the developers pay to have another water plant built for the additional
housing and all the people to take their five minute showers..
This was a factual meeting two years ago, when water supply was in extreme danger of being depleted..
The had to build another water reservoir in the vicinity to supply
the other development..
The dog dodo laws were changed due to the manager receiving deposits that residents collected from the little and big dogs
that had nerve to leave a message for the laws to be ignored..I
for one was happy to have been their to listen to the people
meeting the minds of the brilliant committee that chose to think
we could be ignored..
This column I am so proud to share with everyone,as I sit here
smiling~ wonderful socialites were brighter than I thought~
they moved into our lovely neighborhood of fortunate people
that had guts to take a stand~!!
