Mr. Jensen:
I have read your writings and article as it appeared in The Reporter [Friday]. Not so sure it is necessary to “lecture” a voter and taxpayer. Done deals, as they say, without full transparency, have no place in any form of government.
I also reread the article to be certain that my understanding of this “lecture” was that all out support of the administrations positions are important to you and all parties should adhere to your/their thinking so to speak or as you suggest “KEEP EYE ON THE BALL.” What ever happened to plan the work and work the plan!
Multi-tasking is an important work strategy in the today’s work environment and not too much for a voter to ask of an elected administration.
Also worthy of consideration is full acknowledgment that finishing projects already started is an important part of being successful. Equally important—and just to name a few areas that could use serious attention—is maintaining facilities already in place such as cleaning of downtown trash including the containers, repair to 8th street along the RR tracks from Conner to Division etc. Minimizing or eliminating of semis unless for local delivery that travel SR 32/38 east/west through downtown similar to the process used in Pendleton and many other towns thru out the United States may also be important to many and no doubt cost no dollars but doubt these items are on your list!
In summary, I for one feel LECTURING me as a reader of the Reporter is not the way of persuasion. Recall I have sent numerous prior pieces of correspondence to you and have yet to have a specific response. I would hope you provide better service to your constituents and most likely may curtail the lectures when communicating with any constituents who may also pay taxes and vote!
Thank you,
Jim Williams, Noblesville
