It’s time for a change in Rosalia. This is a recent letter to the editor.
Rosalia’s Mayor, Ken Jacobs, must have an editor for his taxpayer funded personal newsletter, Town Hall News. It includes an odd sprinkling of big words now. Big words can be used to add clarity or they may be used by someone attempting to appear smarter than he really is. Which do you think it is? If he’s become fond of big words I’d like to suggest one. Nepotism. I even have a suggestion for its use. Hiring your daughter-in-law is a fine example of nepotism. You may be able to suggest other words that would really spruce up Town Hall News. How about foist? It could be used like this. An arrogant Mayor foists an unpopular motorcycle rally on an unwilling citizenry.
Many of your fellow citizens are alarmed with the goings on in Town Hall. They’re attending Council meetings, looking over public records and working with relevant agencies. Things are not okay in Rosalia, regardless of the rosy picture the Mayor continually paints. It’s not a matter of people stirring up trouble where none is to be found. The Mayor and Council have behaved as if they are not accountable to the citizens and people are unwilling to stand for it any longer.
Mayor Jacobs says Rosalia is a business. These days most businesses have to innovate and constantly improve goods and services while reducing costs. I don’t see him doing that. Oil companies seem to increase prices and gouge consumers. Maybe he means Rosalia is that kind of business.
Three City Council positions are up for election. It will soon be time for a change in City Hall.
