Everyone wants to be recognized and if all of this is true, Pontoon Beach may be owed the most thanks of all. I know of the mayor and others rescuing peoples pets during that flood and that is the kind of thing that you dont need to be an engineer to understand and appreciate. It was real, they were floating around in rafts and little fishing boats. If they wouldnt have done anything else, that alone would have stood out for me, because it showed a considerable kindness. That was going above and beyond what could be expected in anybodies book and animal lovers like me will never forget that. I think with MESD being under attack and everyone pointing fingers at each other that some people probably have forgot that no one person has waved a magic wand and made the issue go away. Everyone should credit each others sacrifices in dealing with an issue like this, but that wont happen because we need to pin this on somebody. When you really think about it, this whole episode is so childish, but i get it people are dug in and thats just the way its going to be. You did it, no you did it 20 years ago, the wrong person is heading MESD, my uncle could do better, no, my dad could, you forgot to cut the grass, no this valve wasnt turned on, that pump broke down, we dont have any money, it was a really really hard rain..... BLA BLA BLA. When enough people decide that dealing with the situation is more important than passing blame, or even taking credit maybe things will get considerably better. But i understand thats just stupid talk, because it will never happen. The players may change, but the nonsense never will.
