It is our ideas which fertilized the ground for change. It is our ideas which fertilized the ground for change. Already, we are beginning to see, with some amusement, the staling of our ideas without giving the credit. With so many claiming parentage of ideas we spawned, it cannot be said that Measure 4-71 was a failure. Success usually has many fathers.
Failure is an orphan.
Watch how many of the opponents of our measures claim fatherhood for the ideas these measures embodied. For starters, just consider our opponents lauding the election of commissioners by district and compensation for them. We will support what we can and oppose what we must. The country club cronyism that has characterized county government in the past and does so now will have its feet held to the fire as we continue to shine light on waste, fraud and abuse in county government. We are here to stay.
