Danbury Common Council Bails Out All Failed Community Events...

...Or atleast that seems to be what the Democrats on the Common Council want. I didn't get a chance to comment on this news story yesturday but it seemed so ridiculous that I had to make a point of mentioning it. As I woke up to 98Q yesturday morning I thought I had heard wrong when they were annoucning a top story as, Danbury Democrats look into the real reason First Night Danbury was canceled. My first thought was, hadn't this all been discussed in 2005 when the event almost didn't happen and then again in 2006 when it was canceled? Its been obvious for a long time that First Night Danbury was not attracting the crowds it was ment for, its a shame yes but still reality. So then I was reading the paper and came across the same story. Is it me or is this a huge waste of time by certain common council members? We all know why the event failed, it was a lack of support and volunteers. So why I ask again, are we wasting time on this? Shouldn't CityCenter be the ones responsible to fix this and shouldn't we be focusing on more important issues, and if they think this one is so important then why aren't they putting in the same effort for all the other community events and programs that have been canceled over the years? If you ask me its an attempt to get some extra press coverage but in this case I think it backfired because everyone I know thinks its a waste of time. Danbury Common Council bail out all failed community events...no thanks, we have enough successful ones to focus on.
