Run for mayor if you think you can do better.
You tell me one person who has been more proactive than our current mayor in addressing Granite City's decline - you tell me how you would have done it better, and then maybe I'd be convinced.
But I do not believe the wheels of a Granite City turnaround would have ever turned fast. I don't even know if the wheels are capable of a full turnaround.
I believe we have someone who is finally trying to make the best use of what we have and is trying to at least stave off some of the effects of our gradual decline. Maybe the decline will slow down and even out.
Maybe growth to some degree is possible. I believe if we had a good 20 year plan that was regional in scope, it could be possible.
But at least Ed is trying to do the things that people say couldn't be done.
But John you know best...so run for something! If nothing else run for the city limits..but at least run for something.
