A proposal that deserves more attention

As the Department of Water has the ability to produce much more potable water than the city needs , and whose value they say skilled in the art , is similar or superior to that possessed by the bottled water that is sold in supermarkets and other commercial establishments , the nuncio has DiMarca raising the possibility that the city of Lawrence, through a broker or directly, bottle it and sell the surplus water that may occur is explored .

Despite not appearing in the list of projects suggested by the mayor’s transition team , is a very interesting and valuable proposition that, if found feasible , after a thorough and objective analysis – implementation priority should be declared because it could yield substantial benefits for city and incidentally help address two of the main problems that affect : the high rate of unemployment and lack of income sources .

Mayor Rivera , being recently addressed in the CrossOver radio program , leading Ms. Dalia Diaz and architect of the proposal itself, former Councilman DiMarca , has been very willing to consider the idea. The head of the executive branch of city government even agreed with the renowned conductor space a visit to the town of Ayer, MA has implemented a similar project, in order to use their experience as a reference .

We welcome this attitude of the mayor , however , we must note , however all that waste disposal exhibited through the radio, that attention has been given to the idea does not reflect the importance of it. The proposal arose spontaneously in the middle of that conversation, Don Nuncio is touting the long , public and private , and has been raised both elected officials and appointed officials , which seemed to favor them , even the mayor himself known since before he was elected and has been considered a good idea.

Then – and this is what constitutes the core part of this article, which should be seen as a contribution and not as an “attack” our authorities – how is it possible that the idea is good, you have time hovering in the media and in the middle and that – probably – have the boost to generate substantial benefits for the city, and has not yet been invited to the proposer to expose in detail, and has set up a committee , or a designated official, for analysis thoroughly and as soon as possible to present a report explaining whether it is really feasible or not ? Do you really think the idea is good or not? Do we need economic resources , or not? Do we want to create other sources of income to “balance ” the budget without raising taxes or making cuts in staff or not?

If the answer to the above questions is yes , it is difficult to explain how this proposal was left out of the list of projects for the city peremptory developed by the transition team , or as the mayor and city council – which is also part city ​​- government have not yet had the time to get to know more afond and analyze it.

I hope I may be understanding , I’m not discrediting the trip yesterday , nor is the intention of this article to “attack ” to right now run the government of the city that have my full support , I am saying that the above travel, as well as other actions to implement or rejection of the proposal in question had to be done before, and before you do , or do anything else , right … the logical … what is customary is to be heard correctly and formally proposed , and there is no one better to expose the same promoter .

In conclusion, regardless of whether a non-judgmental and deep analysis reveals the inability of the city to implement such a project, we , like the mayor and other officials to whom they have been made partakers thereof, which is a good idea that looks very promising , and it has had and should be paid more attention : the attention it deserves .
