Jim Walsh ‐ Politicians need to put "our" Washington first
h/t InstapunditWe're accustomed to thinking about public policy issues as points on conventional political spectrums: Democrat/Republican, liberal/conservative. While these traditional frames will always work to some degree, those of us who live on the Harbor need to add a new scale: urban/rural. We live in a rural area and that's a good thing. Rural economies can do well. Our costs of living and of doing business tend to be lower than in urban areas. Lighter population density and a less-anxious lifestyle are pluses, too. But this rural area hasn't thrived or grown in recent years. Part of the reason is that we've been serving other parts of the state. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2015-05-06 |
