Kevin, thank you for your willingness to enter into a conversation that has felt more like a referee entering a fight between 2 chestbumping athletes. You created a safe forum that allowed those of us that have resided in the shadows, the silent majority, to come together for a collaborative, nonpartisan, non threatening, non accusational conversation. Although very personal for you, you created a safe space that lacked personal attacks. A space that has allowed individuals to feel comfortable to share ideas and thoughts that get at meaningful solutions. Oregon is better because of your commitment to shine the flashlight out of the darkness on a better Way!
Thank you, Mayor Drotzmann. I'm so grateful for folks like yourself being willing to make this project possible. Oregonians deserve to hear perspectives from around the state and Oregonians need to grapple with the complexities of our communities without resorting to yelling (or worse). I'm excited about the future of the Way and very pleased that other outlets seem to be matching our tone.
