Re: The Great MAPS 3 Debate
I want to make an observation whether one likes unions or not. Just a simple observation. The power of people organized.
MAPS 3 would be rolling through without a peep had it not been for the the fact that organized voices (in the form of unions) gave the organized voice of the powers that be (the city) a group with teeth to bite back and hold the words of the city leaders accountable.
I'm voting YES because I want this city to continue forward momentum. I've said before I don't like the lack of transparency with the whole thing and the entire vibe from the city and I hate being put in a position of voting yes, when good government tells me "no' and go back to the drawing board. But that won't happen, so yes it is. I admit to being played like a fiddle and I resent it. One thing is for sure --- I actually think it's a good thing to some of the city leaders be put on the spot by the power of organized voices, this time in the form of unions. Pro-union or anti-union, I can at least appreciate the power of people standing together, the purpose of unions in the first place.
