Hmmm...How do I say this? CM Mendelson perhaps this roundtable would be more effective if 1) it was held in the community where the shootings occured 2) the meeting wasn't at 9:30am on a Monday morning. People EotR do work and go to school.
*Sometimes I wonder about our elected officials and their connection to the community. My "community view" on the South Capital Street shootings in Washington Highlands is that elected officials shouldn't make it so hard for the community to participate on the roundtable. Come to our community, come at a time when it is more likely we can participate. I haven't made an endorsement but I have to admit that I have seen Clark Ray, candidate in the race for the at-large seat currently occupied by Mendelson far more than I have seen Mendelson - to be honest I haven't seen Mendelson in my neighborhood at all. Makes me wonder.
