he's the only person that's ever taken seriously the issue of the parking office having a non-working handicapped lift for over ten years.

Well, that's a good thing. So it's been fixed?

[cutieperson]

that's what i'm told. i haven't had a reason to go back since then to double-check it, but it seems like a dumb thing to lie about.

Oh, agreed. I just didn't know if by "taken seriously" you meant did something, or just listened.

Personally, I've had positive experiences with all of our local politicos, and I'm glad to be in a position of choosing between good and better as opposed to the lesser of two evils, but that doesn't mean there still isn't room for improvement.

*nod* i meant did something :) and listened. the people at the parking office (including the higher ups) always just said that "they were working on it" which was bullshit since the lift didn't work since the day after they installed it, according to some of their employees.
i'd given up on finding anyone who cared.

Me too. The only local pol I ever had a strong negative feeling about was Vinnie Ciampa. He no longer holds any office, and I hope he never does again.
