No Struggle, No Progress
If black citizens, voters, and taxpayers, wonder why Black elected officials such as Black mayors, and older persons, police jurors, school board members, State/ Federal senators and representatives, etc., deliver little, or no true, meaningful, measurable, and needed to projects, developments, improvements, money, resources, services or other tangible needs, walks, and representation to their Black constituents, and a predominately Black districts and communities/ areas they are elected to serve, it is because they developed no strategic, comprehensive, or other written plans to work from. To both incumbent and newly elected officials, your Black constituents will continue to suffer taxation without representation, until you follow established governmental practices, protocol, and methodologies of developing workable written plans to pursue/ realize desired results and accomplishments. As a minimum, your planning should contain: viable citizen participation and input; an assessment and survey of the needs, wants, desires and concerns of your constituents, district, and areas you were elected to serve (i.e. streets, sidewalks, sewers, drainage, ditch closures, lighting, traffic signage and signalization, recreational facilities and grounds, and playgrounds, housing, educational, infrastructure and industrial park, economic, business and job, community, transportation (public/ private), utilities, fire, police, medical protection and services, youths and adults tutoring, internet accessibility, and other developments, and progress and improvements); identification of local, state, and federal funding needed to finance projects, programs and activities; set priorities (i.e. levels, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) for tables for accomplishments to be made; and benchmarks to measure progress towards meeting goals for development/improvements. No plan, no progress, improvements, or representation. Vote!
