Duluth Politics is disappointed by the turn out once again at the city council meeting last night. We bloged about here and got email responce saying we were right about ordinance 60 and how much we need it. We heard all around town how people were calling and emailing there councilors to reconsider there votes. Other blogs had lots of talk about the issue as well.
Yet when this came up again last night there was two people to speak on the issue. One against the ordinance representing the union workers and one for the ordinance. The fact of the matter is if we want to change we have to force it. This means we need to show up at the council meetings, we can't just email and call. Yes that is always a help but the council needs to see faces in the chamber on Monday nights.
The high powered goverment groups, and special interested groups seem to gather all the time. Duluth it is now our time we need to take a stand from here on out. Not just on this issue but all that you believe is importain to our great city.
I am beginning to think that maybe we are to blame for what is going on in the city, we need to take a more active roll in our goverment. I don't care if you speak at the council meeting or not showing up means a lot. The meeting don't start tell 7pm.
