I think this Linwood park is a great example of a commissioner working for/with the citizens to improve a neighborhood through creative means.

I think this shows how commissioners and those they serve can work together in a positive manner to meet unique challenges.

It's a shame that all too often that commissioners have their own knee jerk reactions with their egos getting in the way as opposed to listening to and then finding the best way to work with those they serve.
