Hey Newb,
Tell me how you define "stirring the pot" and "discussing an issue."
You are a person with a lot to say. Don't clam up because Mario
insists you do.
Give us your thoughts. They are important.
We have a councilman who each year vigorously opposes Asbury Park's
55 year old Columbus Day celebration. He says the city should not
spend money on a purely cultural event.
On the Kwanzaa cultural event, for which the city spends resources
and hires an official "Kwanzaa Celebration Coordinator" he is silent.
That's a hefty Politcal issue. Certainly worthy of AP discussion.
Add to that the same councilmember supports the Chamber of Commerce
decision to wipe the word "Christmas" from their entire lexicon.
That's a very related issue.
Stir the pot?
"You betcha!"
Or, we can go back to dicussing whether the lights on Kingsley street
are bright enough.
