[RP TownTalk] raise failed for mayor/council

[LLJ0312 at aol.com]

We really are sorry to hear that it failed.  We wanted to let the  list-serve 
know of the excellent service Rob provided us.  Back on July  4, we had that 
terrible storm blow through, the transformer and our street  light was brought 
down by a large tree.  It's been out for months now, with  Pepco no where in 
sight.  Needless to say, it's was dark.
 
On Monday, Dec. 4, our car and our neighbor's car were broken into.   The 
dark area made them easier targets.  We were lucky, the neighbor not  so.   We 
called the police naturally and filed a report.  We also  called Rob and told 
him of our plight.  He paid us a surprise visit  that same night.  He gave us 
contact numbers at Pepco and wished us well  and warned that it might take 
awhile.  He also said he'd try calling  to see what he could do.
 
When I came home from work today, it was to a bright light!  The  street 
light was installed and works great.  Rob worked a miracle that we  couldn't.  We 
are sure he pulled a few strings.  Without his  involvement, this problem 
would still be a problem.  
 
Our council representatives work hard for us.  The issue of a pay  raise or a 
stipend increase should be readdressed, especially since one member  was out 
sick and didn't vote.  We appreciate that our reps have  volunteered for these 
positions and are thankful that Rob has embraced his  job to the fullest.
