I have also successfully managed my own small business for almost 10 years, starting from scratch.
I feel right now, here in Palatka, the average person really has no say-so. The commission, mayor and city manager basically run everything. They always say you can come forward with your ideas, but nobody really listens. I've become very frustrated.
Really, we should not. City Hall is not approachable. To be honest, I think they should all go.
We should be looking at situations long-term. We should plan for five years from now, 10 years from now, instead of all of a sudden worrying about how to fix something.
