Since we elected a former Mayor on the promise of  correcting the prodigious problems facing the city, we have seen a small percent of his promises bear fruit. It seems that promises get votes but no action. We have elected Presidents, Congressional officers (Federal and Local) because they “promised” to do a better job than their predecessors. We have got to stop believing the “sound bites, innuendos and slight truths when we vote for someone. We have  to understand that no one knows the depth of the problems they will have to overcome when seeking an office and all are quite surprised when they get the whole picture. The measure of a newly elected official can be summed up as honest when that person , after getting in to the big chair can state that “this is going to be tougher than they thought”. We have yet to see anyone do this but we have seen many covert operations committed to keep us uninformed and hopefully happy. These covert “ops” become known to us after the fact and sometimes not at all, usually when it goes wrong. We now have a complete package, a Novernor, a Nayor and in the  “Northern Springfield” a potential King.
