Among our townsfolk, there are strong opinions on both sides of the issue. And, to my way of thinking, that’s part of the beauty of small-town life. We are conservative and liberal, young and old, rich and poor, working and retired, outspoken and introverted. And it is this diversity that weaves together to make Wheeler the place we choose to live. Yet, it has been my experience that this diversity is not fully represented among those attending our Council meetings.
I encourage our Citizens to attend the meeting to learn first hand—instead of through rumor and innuendo—how and why our City Council rules on this issue. And, let us all try to remember that reasonable, well-intentioned citizens can, and should, agree to disagree respectfully.
