Thanks to those of you who voted on my "would you be willing to gather names for a coal plant initiative?" poll. Eleven of you said you would be willing to gather signatures and twelve of you said you would not.
After this poll was posted, we learned that our city manager, Mr. Doyon, is taking a "fresh look" at the city's continuing involvement in this boondoggle. He also mentioned at Tuesday's (5/20) city commission meeting that a few new things have come up with regard to SME and before he reports to the commissioners, he wants a thorough understanding of what these things are and what they mean for the city.
I would have been in favor of an initiative, if Mr. Doyon had not come forward with his intent to reexamine the city's role in this fiasco. Right now, I'm content to give him a chance to get a handle on this complicated situation and hear his recommendations before thinking again about an initiative.

How long are we going to wait and see what happens?
It's important to remember that all the harebrained schemes could have been voted on if only 3,900 people would have asked for a vote. Mr Doyan is an employee and if directed to, must comply with any new harebrained schemes directed by the commission. There is nothing wrong with creating a database of people ready and willing to gather signatures or sign a petition just in case. Being prepared and having the commission know we are prepared might diminish the reckless pet projects proposed.
We will know very soon if the city commission has had enough of this fiasco. I agree being prepared is a good thing and these blogs have gone a long way to that end. a few more weeks will show us what must be done..........
