Letter: Supports Keith Gaskin for mayor
By George Hazard 6 hours ago
When you look at the present contest for mayor, three parts of Keith Gaskin’s platform are especially attractive: infrastructure; public safety; and community and culture.
The city’s infrastructure is the aspect of Columbus life that we all see. Except for the comparatively independent Columbus Light and Water Department, that aspect of city life is discouraging wherever we look. Snake-like braids of hair lay on College Street for two weeks. We see the crooked public signs (for example, the Friendship Cemetery marker at Main and Seventh streets), upended Riverwalk benches not replaced and of course the lingering, irritating and embarrassing street troubles everywhere. Every citizen has these corrosive encounters every day.
