>From Times of India (TOI) *Former Goa Chief Minister and Congress candidate from Margao, Digambar Vasant Kamat, has won in his constituency. During his door-to-door campaign, Digambar Kamat repeated one mantra frequently. "Call me any time, 24x7. You need no agent to come to me. Development and all is fine, but you know what it means to have a door to knock on in times of need," is what he told his electorate.
----- GL responds I was very heartened to read the above from the former Goa Chief Minster. Now the Goanetters and the columnists can have someone and somewhere to go to for their problems like: Garbage collection.Pot holes on the roads.Lack of public sanitation.Lack of indoor toilets and plumbing.Trash on the streets.Power outage.Etc.,Etc., So as a suggestion, I hope we avoid using TOI or Goanet to bring attention to domestic problems which are better tackled directly at the local level rather than through some national or international channels of communication. Goans washing their dirty laundry in public is not good for Goa's tourist image and the Goan popular image of "Amchem bangarachem Goem." Regards, GL
