The power of blogging, demonstrated again

Actually, this is a demonstration of the power of letter-writing to authority. Have a local issue under the jurisdiction of city or county authorities, but that involves a resource considered important regionally? Are the local authorities not doing the right thing? Then just tell them that you're contacting your Senators, Representatives and Governors. Sure, the state-wide and national electeds have no authority or control over the local issue, but the local officials still feel some unwanted pressure from simply knowing that they're being watched by people who have been elected to higher office. Pathetic, really, but human nature illustrated.

Thus, I am happy to announce that Daryl and I won. Ms. Sitka gets the hospice treatment instead of a visit from Dr. Kevorkian.
