Irvington Taxes

Today on 8/2/2010 there was a meeting organized at 60 Paine avenue, which is a church and the meeting was for the awareness and acknowledgement of the increase in taxes. The turn out was good and the turn out gave some good information, but it is important to see how many people are actually going to follow through. One of the important things that i think came out of the meeting was the information on a class action suit. I think this is important because it is important to really show the people that we mean business. The other thing that was important was the cry for making sure there is a web site developed for the transparency of the organization.

OK let me start by saying I have addressed this already with the mayor and some of the council people already and I have suggested that every council person have a web site designed that will allow the people in their areas to be up to date on issues and concerns and it would also allow people to be able to speak to their council people frequently and often. This will allow the people to voice their concerns to the council person that represents them from a pot hole in the street to the drug dealer holding them hostage. One of the things we have to look at, is the people are getting elected because there are still a great amount of people who believe these people are doing the right thing and until we can gather these people to let them know of what is actually needed we can make change the way it needs to be made. One of the most powerful ways to make sure we make change, is making sure everyone can access an email account and we can reach more people that way then we can any other way. We can reach many people on twitter, facebook, text, there are so many ways we need to reach out to people and get them involved. Also my blog is very important as well because if people view and respond, I can eventually assign a street team reporter to go and get us the issues at hand and keep the focus on the big picture and our concerns. Having someone on the streets and attending meetings, going to functions, going to city hall and asking the right questions and getting people to open up, is going to be awesome because as you bring the questions and concerns to us, we bring the questions to the people who need to answer. We can be your street reporter equipped with a camera and microphone.

So support this blog so we can do more with each other. Share this blog with others and voice your voice loudly so I can see it is worth fighting with you. If you dont have a email or access to a computer, please have some one set you up with one or have someone be your voice and communicate with me and others so we can help to make change.

Taxes are rising and many other things are falling and the only way we can make a difference is with a mass cry through all the avenues we can possess and all the people we can bring together. We came together for President OBAMA so why cant we come together for our community.

I know people are moving out and I know people are leaving and we cant change everyone mind, but we can fight for change as long as we are here and WE HAVE TO VOTE IN NUMBERS!
