Owing to the time-sensitive nature of the subject matter, I’m posting this e-mail from Randy Stumler, Floyd County Democratic Chairman, sans comment. It was forwarded to me earlier today.
This Saturday, July 22, we will be coming to the aid of our city by conducting a city sweep. Recent reports of rubbish collecting in alleys have spurred us on to take action to help keep our city clean and work with the citizens of New Albany. If you have a truck or a trailer that can be used in the cleanup, please meet at White Castle between 9:30 and 10:00 am on Saturday to begin a series of clean up sweeps through New Albany's streets. This will be a once per month event undertaken by concerned Democrats until the problem is alleviated.
Additionally, the Floyd County Democratic Party challenges all concerned groups and citizens to do the same for our fair city. It is time for us to give back to our community and make a difference. Please step up, and clean up by lending a helping hand to your neighbors.
Kudos to the Democratic Party for taking the lead on this very important issue.
ReplyDeleteJust as predicted, the level of service for sanitation services has diminished considerably since privatization. Cleaning up our city is obviously falling to the citizens taking responsibility on themselves.
This is a desperately needed service that the city simply refuses to remedy.
It is especially frustrating for the elderly and the disabled who are concerned with getting their neighborhoods cleaned up, but are personally powerless to help.
Thanks to everyone who will be participating.
The citizens of New Albany are grateful for your activism.
Although I was unable to participate due to prior commitments, I did tour the alleys after the fact and must say that a fine job was done.
ReplyDeleteThese are no longer the jungles that I drove thru just a week ago.
Thanks to all who helped and I intend to be by your side at the next event.
Well done New Albany!
