The sight, and sound, of PROGRESSION

VS

Fight for control of the BOLD, New city. 

Simply to say we are on the right path is not enough. Knowing where the city needs to go and how it plans to get there is the more important thought in a lot of minds. Before us stand two very well qualified candidates. We are not here to endorse either as our candidate of choice, but we are here instead to show how the silent body of our city has finally awaken and is ready to conquer whatever may come our way. For a long history, our city has been led by an elder thought process and elder agenda. Times have changed but it seems to have taken even longer, for the YOUTH to see themselves empowered to move the city instead of just taking the back seat while the elder drives and we ask "Are we there yet"? The city of Jackson is finally able to say that regardless of who wins, a step in the right direction is being made. Youthful leaders mean a lot to our city. Why? simply because the masses that remain and still have love and the power to boost the city are the youthful and empowered. Not saying there was anything wrong with the past leaders our city has had.........well....YES, there was a problem. The frame of thinking and an even more vivid snail pace for politics and change. As everything around us improved and expanded, we sat here waiting watching paint dry as our former leaders basically did nothing to slow the process of leaving Jackson to burn. An incomplete tourist district, a disconnected accountability system, and a tax base that is shrinking mainly because of crime and sloppy business practice. But we digress. In this change of the guard, we are not GUARANTEED anything. I urge those who are on both sides of the fence to be careful and don't expect the world in 2 days. It takes years to fix what has happened to our dear city. Tourism is down, tax base is down, taxes are up, crime is up, education is lacking, there is a LONG list of things that have to be fixed. But we are on the correct path to greatness. WE hope that more young leader step up to the plate and try their hand at public service. We want to see the next monster of a businessman come from the depths of our city and help carry it on to the finish line. The people want more, and the people deserve more. Our question to our readers, is what do you think on top of this new election, the city needs to continue to progress it on the path to being a destination station. Share your comments.
