(VOC: This is a forum offering MCN citizens the opportunity to explain his/her side of the story or to state their opinions, and is intended to focus on the facts. Some of you are all losing sight of the purpose of this blog and have been using mean-spirited names in your comments. Don't let your emotions get the best of you and become accusatory. Feel free to voice your thoughts or opinions on the actions or inactions of any elected official/employee. You can rise above the fray if you remain professional, respectful and diplomatic. This forum is a tool for all of us to use in such a manner to reach logical conclusions when civilly presented with fact-based evidence. Mudslinging, on the other hand, simply appeals to the emotions and seeks no intellectually based response. It’s time for us as a politically conscious nation, to move beyond our habit of name-calling and engage in real,meaningful, intellectual debate.)
