LTE, City Newspaper
City has a great LTE this week, Give Lej Control to Democrats, written by County Leg candidate Ted Nixon.
Ted talks about the Democrat’s “We the People - A Citizens Guide to Taking Back Monroe County”. This blueprint has been ignored by the partisan Republicans of the Monroe County Legislature. For that matter, the Democrats have been ignored by the Republicans and until the Democrats have the majority (they only need to pick up 3 seats) this status quo will remain.
A tight-fisted hold on power does not produce teamwork. It produces resistance. An immediate rejection of innovative ideas will not lead to new solutions. It will result in divisive politics as usual and a continuing deterioration of our county’s economy.
Let’s get involved with our local County Leg campaigns and make this change a reality. It’s time to take our county back from the clutches of the odious ones, remove the arrogance and ignorance from the County Legislature and create an environment of cooperation and understanding. We can do this. We have the power.
The sports team analogy is something even the Republicans should be able to understand.
It is a great letter by Ted.
