I have been involved for 30 years with the youth of DC. Couldn't get much help, but got alot of complaints! In addition to that, I have helped to bring programs, entertainment, sporting events, tournaments, etc, to Dodge over the years. I have supported the schools, the churches, the civic organizations, the charities, and anywhere else that I was asked to help out. I have spent time helping with the senior citizens, and have been involved in fund raisers for them and many other things around DC. I have finally worn out both physically and financially enough, that it is now someone else's time to do their part!

I am not prejudiced, but I have to honestly say that our town is turning into a "ghetto" town with all of the immigration. The packers are a main influence in everything, and no one wants to buck them. I realize that things have changed alot since I was younger, but it is as if people do not give a $hit anymore about anyone but themselves! Needless vandalism, theft, destruction, shootings, robberies, murders, disrespect, no pride---------I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

In addition, our tax situation here is totally ridiculous! We are one of the highest taxed entities in the State and the Nation, and what do we have for it??? Our governmental leadership is questionable most of the time. We waste money on things we cannot afford. The people vote, but it doesn't seem to mean anything. Our infrastructure is falling apart. We can't seem to support local businesses. No one seems to take any pride in their work anymore.

This is just a brief response jackknife, but I think it will answer your questions; at least from my opinion. If you have anything further, please feel free to PM me, and I will see if I can clear up any questions.
