A New Year's Resolution

I would like to urge you all to make a New Year's resolution to attend at least one council meeting a month. 

Did you know that local and state government affect your day-to-day life more than the federal government?

It's where a bulk of your hard-earned tax dollars go, so this is a place of real power for residents of any town or city.  You can have issues addressed face-to-face with you councilman by attending Town Council meetings; you can ask questions about upcoming proposals before it's voted on and you can learn who is running the town.

Knowledge is power.   When you are aware of issues before they are voted on, action can be taken.  It's hard to fight something after the fact.

Yes, it takes time.  Yes, we are all busy.  But this is your neighborhood.  It's where you choose to call home and where your children go to school. 

And yes, Bloomfield is still worth fighting for.
