A letter to the Editor written 11/27

DEAR EDITOR,

THE SIGN IN FRONT OF CITY HALL SAID 'COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS." THE MESSAGE MUST NOT HAVE BEEN FOR THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS IN OUR MIDST...THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER AT 'DAILY BREAD" THE DAY BEFORE HEADLLINED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF FLORIDA TODAY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAD VOTED AGAINST DAILY BREAD...

ALL THIS, WHILE THEY WERE MEETING IN THE SHADOWS OF THE NEW CITY HALL, WHICH SYMBOLIZES HOW POLITICAL LEADERS TREAT "WE THE PEOPLE" WE WANT THE 'RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE' NOT THE PEOPLE...MIGHT I SUGGEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL VOTE TO GIVE THE OLD CITY HALL TO DAILY BREAD RATHER THAN MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER.

AS A CHRISTIAN I REMEMBER THE PRAYER THAT JESUS GAVE TO US 'GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD'1 I AM ASHAMED OF A CITY COUNCIL WHICH SEES THEIR OWN COMFORT IN THE 'NEW CITY HALL' AS BEING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HUNGRY IN OUR MIDST....\

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS YOU HAVE LEFT BEHIND THE PEOPLE, LIKE THE HUNGRY, THE HOMELESS, THE ELDERLY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES...I FEEL ASHAMED EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE 'NEW CITY HALL' AND WEEP.
