I read in the paper yesterday that Larry Langford and Bettye Fine Collins are calling for the removal of advertisements on city buses informing our residents about the current syphillis rampage  through our communities. 

It seems that BEFORE the campaign was ever started, the health department sent certified letters to all city leaders informing them of what they planned to do and asking for any input that they wanted to offer.  Not a single person volunteered a thing!  To me, this would indicate that they were O.K. with what I had "in the works" and would give me free reign to continue on as I saw fit. 

Now both Larry Langford and Bettye Fine Collins are saying that the bus ads should be removed as it sends out a negative image of our city.  Negative as it may be, it's still a reality and one that should be addressed in any way that works.  What better way to let everyone know than through billboards and bus advertisements?  Everyone doesn't read the daily paper and listen to the news.  These people must be reached.

It's more than obvious to me that the two above mentioned politicians are more interested in their political careers than they are with the health and well being of their constituents.
