How do you educate a fence post?

Sometimes a City Council has what they believe is a good idea. Then they try it.

This brings us to Spartanburg, SC. where Tammy tells the story…

City Council is going to start holding workshops every fourth Monday during City Council meetings. The purpose of the workshop is for Council and the public to have an in-depth learning experience about a particular issue facing the City. The workshop will last about 30 minutes. This week’s workshop is about Stormwater Utility.

Now…you may think to yourself…that doesn’t sound very interesting and well…hey, it may not be. BUT, if you want to understand more about what’s going on in your community learning about stormwater utility is important because it is something that MUST be addressed and it is expensive and it’s even more expensive if we’re not proactive.

Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, a workshop about Stormwater Utilities?

Yes, it is important. Yes, it is expensive.

But starting a new workshop program with riveting Stormwater Utility issues?

Good luck Spartanburg. I hope you pack them in.

But, I doubt it.

It’s like talking to a fence post.
