Candy Chand's new SacBee article

[BethB]

For those who don't always read the Forum or subscribe to the SacBee. IMHO there's a good article by Candy Chand: "There's budget crises for the country, then there's this"

Opinion - There's budget crisis for the county, then there's this - sacbee.com

I like it when things are easy to read and easy to understand vs. totally going over my head

I would appreciate not being slammed for posting this, I just thought others might like to read the article from Candy.

Thank you.

Beth, how dare you bring us information??

[ChipShot]

Seems like a bit of an olive branch.

[Wilbur]

Yes, a deft change of tone.

That is an excellent article. Amazing what changes from just one fiscal year to the next...

Thanks BethB for reminding me to read Candy's article. I hope people see her in a totally different light now. She is a very compassionate person for her cause, and she is also able to recognize the reality of the situation as well.

This is not about backing down, it's about the reality of the way life is right now. There isn't enough money to go around. I talked to Candy and she still wants the money for the master plan review and still believes stongly we need this review. This is a wonderful lady who sees more than one side of the coin. Great article Candy.

It's a good thing out here to get a jolt and be reminded we are not (and should not) be the highest priority when it comes to cash strapped county funds.

It's also a reminder that when we are told "no" it may not be due to nefarious agendas, but rather, a lack of relative importance.

It was a good article. A dose of humilty all around.

Olive branch; Deft change of tone; Recognize reality; Nefarious agendas; Dose of humility. Let me add one more. Can't see the forest through the trees.
I've followed the tales of these Republican environmentalists from the first town hall meeting to the Sunday Forum section of the Bee and cannot stop thinking of why it took people so long to figure out that we don't live in OZ.
And you wonder why people outside the gates thing we're arrogant.
