"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Today's LetterBy DIA, Section News
Betsy Mercogliano has written to the Times Union again and they have printed it (if I'd had success rates like that with my TU letters this site never would've gotten started). Unfortunately, the TU doesn't have her letter up on the site. Its a good one and in her last sentence she sums up the DIA philosophy with a nice bit of poetry.
"The financial priorities for these large projects need to be balanced for all the people of the city, not just in the mayor's backyard and the businessmen's front door."That's pretty much it in a nutshell. The golden rule.
