Show up or shut up

OK, naysayers. Here is your chance to be heard. Marion County Commissioner Dan Holub wants a public meeting with you to discuss economic development and other pertinent county issues.

When the decision was made some time back by the commission to call for a referendum election, those who opposed casino development said the county had other options to consider besides gambling.

And you all are right. There are probably as many ideas as there are contributors.

What always baffles me about controversial issues (i.e., landfills and casinos) are the energies expended to keep something from happening.

Just imagine what could be accomplished if those same negative energies became positive to make something happen.

Wow! What a revolutionary idea!

So, here's our chance to shine, Marion County. Here's our chance to show the world we're ready for development and success.

When the commission holds a public meeting in the near future, don't stay at home and complain about what needs to be done.

Show up and offer suggestions to make things happen.
