Very well put. The battles many small towns experience as they try to determine their futures can be avoided with calm, considered, rational input from people on both sides of the spectrum. Change is inevitable, whether we like it or not. If we contribute meaningfully, we can help shepherd our communities in directions that benefit everyone while preserving that which makes them special.
Loran, well spoken as always. I am a "newcomer" here in the BBC...BeautiFULL Baler City. One of the things I first noticed was that the people here were FROM here: they had either never left and were Happy to be here or, they had left for 10 - 20 years to "do their thing" and had returned; not because they HAD to but, because they WANTED to! That was something I had never experienced. Where I come from you only move back if you have no options; This set BeautiFULL Baker City widely apart from anything I had experienced, until I Lived here...now I understand Fully. Change is inevitable but, we can form that change to something we can all embrace. Thank you for all that you and Jenny and you boys do to make this town what it Longs to be. Hugs my friend.
