Matter of Opinion

Letter: Government done right

We've just opened a much-needed and beautiful elementary school on the Five Mile Prairie. (...)

I also want to express my appreciation for the city and the county working so well to help with these projects. When Mead School District asked for help, the city and county both stepped up to provide sewer and water. We all benefited from this governmental cooperation. (...)

This was done in the face of a lot of regulatory obstacles and city/county tensions. It shows how people are willing to rise above that for a greater good.

Do you have any positive stories about how the government worked the way it theoretically ought to have worked?
