Wow! The Tri-Cities is truly a great community! It's awesome, that our community's big dilemma is where to place and how much more money to fund a merry-go-round! A community that doesn't have those in need of a warm coat, while out walking the streets, looking for shelter for the night. A community that has no families living in their cars because of lost jobs and forced evictions. A place virtually without people in mental crisis, who look at you with eyes that want nothing more than a kind word and directions to a crisis shelter. Like I said, "It's Great to live in a community, where the big debate is how much more money a time do we spend on a merry-go-round."
