Thanks Steve Emerine for consistently bringing home the issues.  Emerine lays it out for all of us clearly, not in a whiny fashion.  As a former elected officials, party leader, business activists and newspaper man Steve speaks with authority.

Something to take note of, Emerine is  now lumping in the business community as part of the problem.

If local elected officials and business leaders want to rebuild Tucson’s downtown and hang onto our tourism and convention business, gem and mineral shows, spring training baseball, professional golf tournaments and other attractions for residents and visitors alike, they can.

But if government and business leaders don’t lead, can’t unite the community and don’t want to be bothered with local problems, we are all the losers.

We have to decide collectively that when times get tough, the tough do indeed get going.
