It's very difficult. It's easy to complain. Talk to one of your aldermen and let him or her know your point of view. Go to a council meeting and ask to make a presentation. Do something other than just state your opinion on some forum. Go to city hall and ask for the budget detail you want, then you can make a stronger case for your point of view. I'm not trying to diminish your point of view, only to say that if they cut services and programs, someone else will be affected and that there are ways to let them know of your views.

Well put, and a reasonable voice.
