Today's column is kinda-sorta like Comment Corner, except we're not going to insert comments and then reply to them. Think of this as kind of an insight into the head of WayneWho.Last Thursday, we posted discussing possible annexation within the city. As many of you know, the comments on our site are moderated...that is, someone on the WayneWho staff has to review them and hit the approve button before they appear on the site. Well, several staff members were huddled around the monitor when we looked at the comments list and saw the first six comments that appear under that entry. There was a thread of several comments about the CRA and condos on the lakefront. Now, we haven't seen any officials on the record confirming or dispelling the allegations, but what was interesting to us was that several people had taken the time to write in, independently, before the first mention of the rumor hit our site. It didn't start with us, but it definitely started somewhere. There have been some follow-up comments to this rumor, and, like you, we're looking forward to getting it finally resolved.
Then on Saturday, we posted about a local organization whose members were trying to pay their KUA bills with some private-issue currency. The more we read about that situation, the stranger it becomes. We were pleased to receive a reply comment from Chris Gent of KUA time-stamped less than 2 hours after our post...on a Saturday evening, no less!
Also this week, in response to the puppet theatre, one of the local activists posted a comment that started with "Very good. You are correct" which is a 180-degree perspective change from when we first showed up on this site. After we got up after falling out of our chair, we thought that perhaps everyone should take a trip to out west to gain some perspective. We haven't decided what will happen if we start getting support from other ax-tivists or those who get their guts from a radio microphone.
We've said it before, but you, our audience, really impress us. Without you, we're just some people typing on a keyboard. And the next puppet video is already in the can, so stay tuned, and keep those comments coming.

Just keep up the good work. The onion is peeling.
Does it seem to anyone else like government is finding many more ways to work against the people, and then turn around and blame the people for all of the problems? Have the different local governments just given up on making things better? It just seems like they have thrown in the towel and given up. Well, they have not thrown in the towel on seeking relection, or on finding people to replace them that will do as they do. At least we have puppet shows.
They have given up because they realize that their developer buddies lied to them. The developers promised all of these wonderfull things that would happen if their projects were approved. The projects got approved and built, and nothing wonderfull happended except the developers got rich. The residents are the ones left to fix all of this. Of course we can't get anything fixed because we have politicians that are focused on parties and plaques.
Has there been any word on the Lakefront project yet?
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT, ON OCCASION, WE COULD AGREE ON WHATS GOOD FOR OUR CITY AND COUNTY? I WILL ACCEPT YOUR CHEAP SHOTS, IN FACT, I HAVE GIVEN CREDIT ON MY BLOG SITE. YOU? NEVER. OH WAIT, YOU ARE ANONYMOUS. I AM NOT.
