Hiatus Is Over--- my manifesto for the hour

I haven't been following through with this blog and for that I apologize. I'm sorry. But I've found my second wind. I'm not sure how long it will last but hopefully long enough to get me to my third wind, and my fourth and my fifth.

The purpose of this blog is to spark conversation between individuals and address issues people are concerned about. I understand my gatekeeper role in this drama. Not only do I have to monitor what goes on here, but I also need to be committed to Fight The Future. To publish information that isn't heard else where.

Just today I received at tip regarding the snow removal from the recent blizzard. The tip was this persons' alderman had the snow removed from their block, free of charge. They were wondering where they got the money to do that. They want me to look into it more.

I'm not sure what I'll find, but its stories like these that need to be investigated and told. I can't afford to be lazy on subjects and allow issues to go untouched.

This is my priority.
