The Challenge of Progress

Always the challenge of progress is riddled with many element.. including personal attacks on those have have and show vision. It takes a great stand as an individual to be the governing authority over any major sector.. It is by far not a task for the weak of heart nor the faint of spirit.. and surely not a position that one would engage with a fragile equilibrium of individualism..

therefore .. We have a Strong Mayor.. we have a man that endured much and persevered through much, to pursue the leadership role for the city..

WE had other candidates who have fallen out of the sphere of public notice since their run.. but they spoke of a good game but they are not standing in a "open" contributory position.

It takes a great concept of envisioning what can be to take the steps to start at the bottom and make the framework elevate to a higher standard.. We've experienced wide expanse of growth.. but at the expense of deterioration of many regions.. we have seen prior administrations let crime fester.. simply becase the demographic of a sector was not engaged. Many speak about crime in the black neighborhood, but we have much white crime and to take the color element out of it.. " all crime is a deterrent to our betterment..

but we may care with great awareness to think.. how did this come to be when we have continually had mayoral presence.. and now we have mayoral presence that is actually willing to get out and do something, to establish programs, to see the needs of the city. this speaks volumes for what of positivity we have in the current administration..

It will take time to get things up to a standard code proficiency.. and it will take time to reorder our policing and their mission. and we should seriously be looking at paying our officers more.. the min. starting salary should be $3,000 per month. We cannot go on with paying officers 22,000 a year as a starting salary and expect them to risk their lives and family destruction to protect us..
so we need to prepare to support the Mayor in such moves when the city gets to the point to see and address policeman salary. We have some of the lowest paid policeman in the country for a city with the elements we have .. of Gaming industry, business, and crime.

so the start to get property standards up.. will help us increase our tax base.. by building our neighborhoods back so they can be equity earner's for the homeowners of any and all regions of the city.. and then we can move to pay those who are the protectors of the city.. and all win..

It is a sad reality that we or any of us would complain about a program to clean up and enhance our city.. to restore the communities to become value building communities..

those who complain.. may well not know as the troubled areas increase in value then so to does your neighborhood.. and you too gain equity.. that can provide you some nature of stability for and within the future..

the benefits that many are not aware of are multi-dimensional..

if only people look deeper into the positive element of what is progress. and how progress is instituted..
