(or...The Roadrunner Strikes Again)
by Paula Denise
First, it was a smart psychological move to schedule the meeting in a church to evoke a sense of decorum for the potentially volatile topic in tandem with a strictly paraded program of control for City players and partners.
You got it, the same handpicked Daisy Lynum specials used on each and every project despite other qualified minority businesses still awaiting their opportunity to shine. Brevity and speaking in 'stencil ideas' ruled the glossing over of
specifics that highlighted the fact Tinker Field will be taken but they will 'look at' a relocation and development of McCracken Field as a much smaller substitute which by the way has no historical landmark value.
AND...there will be an opportunity for volunteers to show their artistic skills in decorating construction boxes, walls and public rubbish bins....a coloring-out-loud for inclusion.
Although at the top, D Lynum presented the agenda of the 'program' and added upon completion there would be an opportunity for engagement/discussion wherein all waited with baited breath to speak...
In fairness, Commish Ings attempted to stress the historical significance of Tinker Field citing a bevy of celebrity appearances i.e. Babe Ruth & Dr. Martin Luther King.
BUT, Public response/discussion... NIXED !! (business as usual). The moment presentations adjourned-- POOFF, like greased lightning, SHE was gone, like the Roadrunner & WileyCyote... just like all the monies in question ! ! Reminds us how much we matter to her. {For the inquiring minds who want to know. : ) }
These comments are made on Facebook in response to Daisy Lynum 'Town Hall' meeting to discuss issues in Parramore.
