Contact Your Leaders? You'll Get "No Response"

 

Our friend Mark White of local broadcasting fame has recently been focusing on a former Montgomery police officer currently incarcerated in the death of a citizen who ran from law enforcement. We don't know if this LEO received justice or not. What we do know is that when Mark contacted several state leaders over a possible commutation of the sentence, he received no response.

We've blogged on this before. Our personal experience and the experience of many who write here has been abysmal when it comes to receiving any acknowledgement of communications to local leaders. Due to the current Florence City Council, there has been improvement in that area.

Why would the governor of a state not remit at least a perfunctory reply to a citizen? Why would local county commission members turn a deaf ear to citizens who sought improvements in facilities?

If you have attempted to contact local and state leaders, but received absolutely no response, send us the details. We will publish your accounts and keep a registry of those those who thumb their noses at the citizens who elected them.
