I just read the article about taking the Wielgus property. It sound like nothing is going to stop the Mayor. He will take as many step as he needs to get his way. That is persistence. Or maybe arrogance. I think we should name a building after the Mayor. There is one just across the river from the Wielgus property that I think is appropriate. It could be called the Dan Knapik full of _ _ _ _ sewage treatment plant. There is not much worse than an arrogant politician.
Going with some nice folks suggestion that we keep the Pulseline a little more positive, I’d like to make a positive observation concerning our Mayor. I don’t personally know him or his family as I’m not a native born Westfield resident, heck I’m not even a Democrat. However I have observed him to be a person very much interested in making our city a better place to live. And you certainly can speak to him every month if you wish by simply attending his one hour talk sessions he holds around the city and the schedule is always reported in the Westfield Evening News. If this isn’t convenient, I can assure you that he does answer your Emails. As for my small corner of the city I have found him personally involved in trying to improve Shaker Road and make this winding street a safer place. Over the past years this has included increased police patrols, better traffic signs and improved maintenance of the roadbed traffic markings. We have seen sections paved in response to our request and we are in the cue for more paving to fix the sections of the road serious damaged during this difficult winter.These efforts have most certainly resulted in a decrease in accidents and serious injuries. Westfield is a nice place to live, not perfect but I personally think most of our city government folks do care.
