It is SO true that our leaders say one thing (in a sound byte, which sounds so lovely and great) and then do another. I think some refer to this as bait & switch. We have to do everything in our power as citizens to stop this disingenuous behavior. Thanks for speaking so well on our behalf, Jane. Any thought that you might consider running for mayor?
