If someone sent you a letter to be on a committee and you didn't even know why, would you jump to serve?

Why oh why do we waste money on time, materials, personnel etc. for elections if they mean diddlysquat to the elected officials?

Give me a break. In addition to the outlandish costs associated with tearing down the viaduct one would think knowing what happened in Boston would send a message, the fact that the whole area is fill would be a concern and that is just for starters.

Those of us who try to be contributing, responsible citizens are sick and tired of our votes being totally disregarded for the benefit of the pols and their big money supporters.
