Are Democrats capable of truly understanding the election results?
Letter to Editor
As Vice Mayor of Wilton Manors, I want to thank Thomas Paul Severino and the Gazette for highlighting an important conversation about how our city preserves its heritage while making thoughtful fiscal decisions that enhance access to resources for all residents. In light of ongoing budget challenges, I suggested we consider allowing Broward County to take financial responsibility for our cherished Wilton Manors library.
I read the column by Mark Segal of the Philadelphia Gay News posted on Nov. 9 after Donald Trump’s election where he states: “As we have done for the past 55 years since Stonewall, we will continue to stand tall, proud, and ready to wage the good fight. This isn’t new; there have been times when elections in this country directly impacted our lives. Let’s reflect on those moments, the challenges we faced, and how we not only survived but made progress.”
I’m a Medicare senior who is worried about my future healthcare if Rick Scott is reelected. I know that sounds partisan, but here’s how I see it: Scott will lead the Senate in reducing the large benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare.
As your City Commissioner, I want to address concerns about the upcoming tax increase in Wilton Manors.
Regarding the article, “WMPD in Crisis,” there are candidates whose applications are currently pending with the city (young, physically fit, self-starters with sound judgment and advanced degrees) who want to be members of law enforcement here, to serve the community here, not somewhere else where the pay, size/support, resources are higher/better/etc. Some already live here, have roots here, etc.
Let's not retire the name Stonewall but ensure that context and history become a part of what our community does. Too many of us do not have a clue about the historical record, too many of us do not contribute to the survival of our cultural, history, knowledge, educational organizations that protect and preserve our culture and history.
