Why are people so negative? My response of bashing Erin Burke, city clerk, for her input into the meetings: she is incredible, knows more than anyone else. Give her credit for how much she assists and saves time with her knowledge. My response to bashing the library system for awarding previous mayor and deputy mayor : they DID accomplish getting funding for the new library and pushing to using the Franklin School. I may not have agreed with everything they did or more specifically what they did NOT do but give credit to this feat rather than the usual lip service.
