Last night I attended a meeting in Tunica. The usual regulars were there, minus a few. A couple who had joined this group awhile back but in all the years I’ve been a member, they had never attended a meeting. After the meeting, the female of this couple proceeded to tell me … and this isn’t a quote … that I had great leadership skills but I needed to “channel my energy” into other endeavors and when I asked her about one of the “discoveries” the Transparency committee had found, she said, and this is a quote: “I’ve known about (this) for years.” By the time I got home I was laughing.
So, what’s my point? The point is this, you can be a part of the problem or you can be a part of the solution. I also know this makes some people angry and uncomfortable with me. This, of course, was not news to me.
Tunica is a wonderful town and county. It can be made better but that takes more then running your mouth. It takes action. I am choosing to be a part of the solution. What part would you like to play?
