So, let me get this straight. We have a "National Donut Day" but can't figure out how to fix a pothole on Main Street without three committees and a six-month study.
Local resident Mark T. writes, "I tried to enjoy my free donut this morning, but I nearly lost my tire in a crater that's been there since Easter. But hey, at least the mayor was photographed smiling with a sprinkle donut for the local paper. Priorities, people."
Let's use some common sense: if we can organize a free donut giveaway across 50 shops in town, we can coordinate a single work crew to patch a road. Stop the fluff.
