I just sent a letter (email) to the editor of our local newspaper, the Joshua Star. It's a variation on my previous post entitled "Joshua city council meeting August 2009: You Win Some You Lose Some". The reason I sent the letter was because to my surprise last week's paper barely mentioned the issue of the city taking over our trash collection billing. This is a big deal to me as you'll see if you read that post.
The title of this post comes from my decision to send that letter. I feel pretty comfortable writing in this forum, but to send something out for print just feels different. Maybe because I know the Star has about 1500 readers and I have...well I don't have that here. One of the reasons I ran for office though was to make sure the whole story got out and I don't think this whole story has gotten out yet.
Like me or not I'm willing to make a few mistakes and be proven wrong so if I think something needs to be said I'm going to say it. Whether the Star chooses to print it is up to them.
