Loved this article, I hope you get to interview the rest of the Councilmen.New Girl in Townhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05258552186818325904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158542207540341622006-09-17T20:16:00.000-05:002006-09-17T20:16:00.000-05:00Bravo indeed, to John and to Councilman May for making the facts available to the public and for adding a fair and accurate assessment of how Overland can strive to recover from the catastrophic activities now taking place in city government. I find it impossible to visualize any resolution without drastic change in procedure or lawbreaking officials.<BR/><BR/>Again, we applaude your efforts and plead that you persist in them.<BR/>What a ripe plumb this situation could be for a daring investigative reporter! It would be a startling revelation if the devious financial wrangling and neferious political plotting on the part of the alleged ORT and its backers could be revealed to the public. Until then, we will continue our plea to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Atty and the Atty General to rescue our city.Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528442771849716393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158526751528180492006-09-17T15:59:00.000-05:002006-09-17T15:59:00.000-05:00Great interview indeed. More would be nice, and thanks.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the Mayor has acted upon her idea of asking the Muni League to mediate. I am not holding my breath for her to do that, or make good on her plans for a fair "town hall" meeting.<BR/><BR/>Blackjack has an entire TV cable, channel 20 on charter. Randy Gardner is the talk-show host, or whatever role he plays. Great stuff, they interview the County PD leaders and hospital officials.<BR/><BR/>Were Overland to have it's own TV show, I fear subliminal subtitles ~"free trash p/u"~ and little signs in the background, <BR/>marked "Queen AP" etc.Nazrudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16052548320171749719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158502952090581032006-09-17T09:22:00.000-05:002006-09-17T09:22:00.000-05:00In must situations your interview would have been shorter, but right now if you have something to say touching all bases is necessary because of the readers who nit pick and split hairs on every word that is said.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the article, it came across showing the real side of Mr. May and I have a more positive attitude towards him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158502542787460322006-09-17T09:15:00.000-05:002006-09-17T09:15:00.000-05:00Good job and thanks to Councilman May for taking the time to talk to the citizens. Now, go get the rest of them and ask the questions that are on everyone's mind!c3missilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10349924204555533325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158477556783134562006-09-17T02:19:00.000-05:002006-09-17T02:19:00.000-05:00Thanks for your complements. As for the length, I agree, I really need to work on trimming these things down. My mistake was in trying to address everything in one interview. Councilman May's patients with that was much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>As for appearing on local cable, I have no interest in that. People watching TV "news" tend to focus on the visual. Yet most of the issues facing Overland are not visual. Reading the news tends to focus you on the issue(s) of the stories, while watching the news tends to focus you on the sensational videos, and the looks / mannerisms of the host as well as the guest(s). Better to get people thinking about who has the best ideas, then who has the best hair IMHO.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1158469564784643402006-09-17T00:06:00.000-05:002006-09-17T00:06:00.000-05:00Bravo John, I enjoyed reading every word of your interview.<BR/><BR/>I feel this is an avenue to let the resident meet each of our Councilmen semi - personally . <BR/><BR/>Several years ago the Cable Company use to film interviews with representatives from different municipalities. Maybe you could do these sessions on cable also. Sometimes people don't like to take the time to read long articles, (some do) I think this would be a great service to the residents of Overland. <BR/><BR/>The City of Black Jack has their Mayor on a lot as a service to the community.<BR/><BR/>It would be up to each person rather they wanted to do so or not. You could work out the details I'm sure. You could also interview the different department heads. I feel there is enough interest out here in Overland to warrant something like this. What do you think?<BR/>It doesn't count if you say you think I should stop coming up with good ideas.<BR/><BR/>Somehow we have to show that being a positive person is better then fighting and calling each other names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
