Patience Needed

To the Editor:

We all have images of leaders. We wish that leaders were capable of solving any problem with the clap of a hand or snap of fingers. Let us look at some of the problems Ellinger is going through at this time. We are now a city that will help acquire money for the water board to hold down the increasing cost for water. The water board is working hard for a long-term solution to Ellinger water problems. We have individuals who want to help our city grow but need to make sure they will have enough water for their efforts.

Patience is what is needed for us to move forward. The individuals on the Water Board are not sitting on their hands waiting for something to happen. The board is being proactive in an effort to solve unresolved issues from the past and move to new, less expensive costs to each customer. There are those who will try to throw the water board under the bus, not to help, but to hurt the final outcome.

No problems. No progress.
