If you truly want to hold the Town Council accountable for their action or inaction on issues of concern to you, it's not strategic or effective to continue to assail them on this list. It's far more strategic and effective to actually go to meetings, like the rest of us do when we have concerns, to ask questions and get answers that are on the record.<div><br clear="none"></div><div>-Heather</div></div><div class="yiv1176731351ecxgmail_extra"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv1176731351ecxgmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 16, 2016 at 9:36 AM, Al Spain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alisonspain@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:alisonspain@gmail.com">alisonspain@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv1176731351ecxgmail_quote" style="padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div dir="ltr">Mr. Ebbeler -<div><br clear="none"></div><div>I grow weary of your ongoing diatribes on TownTalk. While I don't doubt that many of your concerns are legitimate and worthy of discussion, perhaps you might consider that your tone and the trial of Mr. Archer by passive-aggressive list-service is making at least one constituent deaf to your message. The daily news is trouble enough, the last thing I want to see when I open TownTalk is a one-way schoolyard fight. If you're looking to attract people to your message and grow civic engagement, I thought you might like to know that your posts are having the opposite effect on me.
