Comments on: Memphis Poll Hits 9-Year High for Public Satisfaction http://www.smartcitymemphis.com/2010/03/memphis-poll-hits-9-year-high-for-public-satisfaction/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Zippy the giver http://www.smartcitymemphis.com/2010/03/memphis-poll-hits-9-year-high-for-public-satisfaction/comment-page-1/#comment-13398 Zippy the giver Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:25:32 +0000 http://www.smartcitymemphis.com/?p=4634#comment-13398 I contact government to say good job and bad job, whatever is appropriate often, and, I don't leave it at that. It is nice to hear that you did a good job, but, it has to be taken in the right spirit. I think AC accomplishes that. The police improvement is great. They need to keep it up and step it up, still more things to do. There are still too many bad apples inside the department in unlikely places, like commanders and some inspectors, the people who actually interface with the requests and execution of dispatching officers. Sometimes yo have to fire people when you know they are bad before they do harm. It's not desirable work when you've known them for years. I like this post and the city council not listening to citizens is no news. Sad, eh? It's cool how the poll tracks precisely what needs to be done in order of importance and what fell down that brought us to this weird state. Great post, SCM!

What a news flash! If WWH had an ounce of decency, he would take the message to heart and leave politics. So Herenton leaves and A C takes over, and Memphians are happier. What a news flash!
