Dear Source:

some times its not what you see that is the reality, recently on CNN a man was saying how obama was bringing in clinton staff and that wasn't change, someone should tell the press we wanted change from bush, a good place to start is where clinton left off.
in the VI we elected new senators what we are looking for is real change, many of the pieces are in place: a reform minded governor and cabinet yet somehow it feels like we are getting ready for the same old thing, the senior members of our senate are setting up fiefdoms, I watched a senate hearing about police and fire, who are citing the same complaints they made 4 years ago, a senior senator seemed to think that the answer was in telling them all to exhaust the processes that we have, with out responding to the fact that those processes dont work in a timely manor it was a perfect example of VI government attack the person not the problem, so now i ask when will we see change in all this?
to the man who got the most votes and seems to think that positive is a way to live, he should take a lesson from the mandate of the people we want change, your not in office to appear clever or be personally a stumbling block to change because you feel it somehow needs to be complicated, you should be the vanguard of the change the people want, we want good cost effective policing and fire departments, they deserve to have a government that's behind them and not one that opposes them.
New senators should take note here dont learn how to complicate things look to simplify all the process, we need good police and fire just as much as good senators you both have a common mission serve the people and not your selves.
