One of the most dangerous things for our society is the growing trend of some people, that try to shut off debates on any issue. The right of “Free Speech” guaranteed in the First Amendment gives all of us the ability to share opinions on more than one side of all issues. We see this problem has reached an all-time level in America today. Unfortunately, that has also gained a foothold here in Jersey Village.
We truly thank all that chose to run for positions this election to allow more than one view on the issues that the residents of Jersey Village are affected by. Some may be seen as winners and others as losers; however, nothing could be further from the truth. All of the residents of Jersey Village deserve to hear facts, opinions, and debates about what is good for all residents. Without a challenge, some claim to have “total support” of all of the residents and have assumed that gives the “right” to make all decisions without debate or input from the residents. That is dangerous and foolish.
A government that believes they “only” know what is best for all of us, is a government that is already out of control. During the next few months, JVCC must provide more information regarding their efforts to move city hall to the location across.
Again, a sincere thanks to all that worked hard to give all residents a choice in this election.
