Editor,
I have considered and reconsidered writing this letter after careful consideration and fear of not being politically correct. I think that political correctness has no place in this issue and am referring to the letter once again from Kim Lawrence.
I have never met this woman and would not know her if I saw her. The saddest thing about that is, that I have absolutely no desire to meet someone as thoughtless and shallow as Kim portrays herself. I have been doing some thinking and believe that I may have once again found a solution to the city’s budget and to Kim’s concerns of what city employees do with their time.
My ideas would enable Kim to sit in City Hall and to fan the employees with recycled news papers from The New Era. Think of the electrical savings to the tax payers. The city of Sweet Home would also be at the forefront becoming a “green” city for the use of recycled newspapers.
On days that do not require air conditioning for the city employees Kim could deliver the mail and/or newspapers to all the residents of Sweet Home as she follows city employees around to make sure that they are competently doing their job – occasionally dropping by Jim Gourley’s home to ensure that his dogs are not running, terrorizing that neighborhood.
This would save the taxpayers of Sweet Home a fortune. Assuming that she stays caught up with those responsibilities, she would be allowed to stand in front of the Sweet Home Fire Department and wave traffic coming in and out of Key Bank and Lee’s Laundromat to help avoid all those accidents and time delays on Long Street that are reported daily, all the while completing these tasks, muzzled. I hope this helps.
