By Bill Connell, Somerset.
True or not, New Years are times to hit the reset button. I believe in this. It forces you to refocus. At the Township Council reorganization meeting I wasn’t unable to attain that goal. It was just another day. I did not get up and speak because I could not muster enthusiasm to say something positive and snarky condescension seemed pointless.
There is nothing I can add that the Franklin Reporter & Advocate has not reported, but I can tell you what it was like for me to be in the room. Regardless of how you or I feel, the people on Council ran for office and make a sacrifice to help run the town. Even if their motivation is ego-driven, this needs to be acknowledged. The problem for me is in the course of 2018 I looked too close, I looked behind the curtain. I have trouble respecting them because I can see all the double-standards and horse-trading that goes on.
