Note to Greg Ballard: If you want people to stop saying you’re the kind of mayor who doesn’t think before he acts, stop doing things like this.

It’s getting to be a habit that you take a brash action and then have nothing to say about it other than, “Um, we’re working on a plan.”

When you proposed cutting arts funding and selling off parks, you should have had all the relevant information handy to give to the public along with your rationale. If you fire the person in charge of recycling efforts and then tell us you’ll have it all worked out in a few weeks, you look like you’re knee-jerking your way through your official duties.

We’re almost nine months in, and still no vision. I’ve heard of learning on the job, but this is getting absurd.
