Where were the city council members at tonight's LYNN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Youth event tonight? Only FORMER CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE CLAY WALSH was there to listen to our future. It would have been in the best interest of our city to listen to the voices of our youth.
Knowing their wants and needs is the best way to avoid problems in the future. It would have been an opportunity to learn some of the positive things and programs are youth are involved in. It is much smarter to spend time and money on the front end than to have to pay for the policing and clean-up on the back end.
Kids from KAYA, RAW ARTS, and GIRLS INC each gave informative presentations about their respective programs and initiatives. They were joined by a inspirational talk from LYSOA's ANTONIO GUTIERREZ.
Someone from the COUNCIL or MAYOR'S should have been there.
Don't worry too much though, pretty soon some articulate young people are going to come knocking on your office doors.
