You mght want to take a look at all the new housing activity in Mr. Bosley's ward. I have volunteered there often and the neighborhood around Salisbury and North Florissant is looking much nicer these days. I don't take any credit for it, but the program has been very productive and has brought together many regional churches concerned about improving housing in the City. Thank you.

Not too many people in St. Louis City government have taken North St. Louis seriously either because of race, politics, or failure to serve the people in general. But I believe you have the ability to change that, not just because of the influence that you have when it comes to shedding light on St. Louis politics, but because you KNOW what is going on in the city. North St. Louis, especially O'fallon Park, has many challenges. Many of them have been ignored not just at City Hall, but within the neighborhood itself. If the presidential election has taught us anything, it is that ignorance is NOT strength. In order for the community to change and solve any problem, it must be active. But action can not be done by one man alone. Change in community requires a community that beseeches change.
