Dear Editor:
Tooooot. Toooot. Toot. Toooot. There are two trains coming to Jefferson City, arriving soon.
The first to arrive is the Conference Center Special. It looks fancy and promises to bring hordes of visitors to town who will supposedly make our store owners rich and city coffers filled. Actually, because of poor or almost non-existing planning, it's certain that such pipe dreams will not happen.
The aforementioned promises simply are not attainable. Instead, to save face, you and I will be forced to send our hard-earned funds to the city's cash box to make up the difference. The train's engineer is our Chamber of Commerce and the conductors are the City Council.
The second to arrive will be the JC Public Schools Facilities Special. The train's engineer is a Dr. Mitchell who assembled a team of conductors made up of local citizens. Eventually, they will want to spend our hard-earned funds to expand and improve the facilities around town. They are not promising great wealth or a ton of visitors. Okay, the ton of visitors are our children and the great wealth is sufficient knowledge so our children can be successful in life. Hopefully, some day they will take care of us, instead of us taking care of them.
After looking at whatever facts that are available right now for each train, I want to board the JC Public Schools Facilities Special. I do not know the exact destination right now; however, I would rather put my money on the children. Yes, mine are successful because of the education they received here. And that is the way I like it.
By the way, this letter's opening is the locomotive's engineer signal that his train is approaching a road which crosses his tracks. It is a warning that he cannot stop the train quickly.
