Another Work Day

Today I will work here in Coffeyville. Then tonight I am scheduled to give the invocation at our city commission meeting. They need all the help they can get. They are all good citizens and try to make decisions that are fair and show equity for all but one man's equity s another man's unfairness. Their worst critic is a former commission member who resigned when he was unable to get his fellow commissioners to accept his point of view on all decisions that came before the commission. The problem was his attitude. He tended to be extremely critical of everything they did. He wanted to be mayor but the mayor is chosen by fellow city commissioners and they saw his attitude was bad from the first. His ideas were not all that bad but the way he went about expressing himself was through extreme hostility. So he resigned.

Then he convinced the local editor of our bi-weekly newspaper to let him write a column. In the column, his hostility continues. What a pity.
