Taking the first steps towards a solution

There's a lot panic going on right now with the failure of 2C and passage of 300. Mayor and City Coucil recall petitions, people losing their jobs, funding for key industries like tourism being slashed.

Folks, there's a saying. Cut once, measure twice.

Before anything permanent is done, I urge everyone who has a shred of energy, thought and inclination to ask questions, do what you can to "stop the presses" as quickly as possible, and see what other alternatives have not been examined. The haste right now is scary and solutions that involve bureaucracy, tax dollars, and a whole lot of time is like telling someone who is about to have their arm chopped off that you are going to mail a letter to the hospital as soon as the arm is off so help will arrive. WE WILL BLEED TO DEATH BEFORE THE LETTER EVEN HITS THE MAILBOX!!

I hope someone gets my analogy. Please...someone...tell me I'm making sense to someone out there.
