Last evening's Town Hall

Friends,

Last evening's Town hall depicted Salado at its best.  Well crafted comments and thought-provking questions were the order of the evening.

Opinions for and against the Sewer Bond Election were offered and, more important,  respect was give for each speaker's view.

The key to a healthy community is communication; the expressing of ideas and opinions.  May we never forget how to talk, listen, and communicate.  That is what makes Salado special.

It is said that "if you want to get involved in Salado politics, you had better be ready to play hardball and have a thick skin."  This is partially true.  However, there is a better description of Salado politics.  "Let the people communicate; express their views; make their points; and listen with an open mind . . . and, the people of Salado will respond with clear thinking, academic reasoning, and   intelligent understanding."

In the end, "the right always wins."

Last evening the "right won, again.  Opinions were expressed; questions answered; and when it was all said and done; 129 of us are still neighbors and friends."

This is the spirit of Salado.

              You deserve the greatest of respect.  Skip
