WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

      What we do now is proceed using process and procedure and move both quickly and slowly in order to make sure that we are doing it right.
1. As it goes via good old Brooklynese - "Trow dem bums oudda here!" Out with the current administration who has brought us to this unacceptable and dangerous situation. I do not care how - impeachment, resignation, but they must go and at the very least....
2. Term limits must be reinstated.
3. There must be a very clear review of the whole road situation, engaging an engineer that is chosen not via their choice but via other recommendations as they are not to be trusted. All along they have brazenly lied about the situation and now here it is, blowing up in our collective face.
4.After we receive the report we must solicit bids and not from M&M Paving either. We must use the report with all the deficiencies outlined in order to craft a contract, a real contract, a legit contract of many pages and signed properly with full knowledge. All of this demands a proper RFP of course.
5. We must look into the situation if we, UCO, has the right to sue M&M and even attaching David Israel et al to the suit as complicit in its defects and signed with knowledge aforethought, whatever legal terms are to be used.
6. We need to draw up a cut to the bone budget after listing our priorities. We need to keep our infrastructure up to date and in good condition. We must keep our fences in proper condition and not dependent upon vegetation to hold it up! We must clean our waterways without one step leading to another bad consequence. This is a pathetic game of catchup which we will always lose! We must figure the best way to get the money we need in the time we have and possibly break the paving into segments with worst going first and taking care of the drainage before anything.
7. No whims or ridiculous or costly projects will be done over the next few years. Signage can wait, snacks can wait, fancy carpets and flooring can wait, furniture must be practical in duration and cost and we can go on and on.
     But do it we must. We have been warning about this for years already. We have been shouting about the lies they roll out of their mouths, of the forked tongues they use to speak. Now perhaps you will listen and we will forbid ourselves from saying, "We told you so!" But let us begin and by the way, Howie, what is this "published information" and just where has it been hiding or been hidden? In the vegetation perhaps?
