Showing Original Post only (View all)Absolutely FANTASTIC Letter to the Editor; "Leaving Defiance (Ohio) County" [View all]
https://www.crescent-news.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/letters-to-the-editor/article_97bfed33-ace4-4292-bdec-bf8e1808fa77.htmlMy God this is a great LTE.
"I am one of many young adults who plan to leave Defiance County as soon as I am able. That decision did not come lightly, but it has become clear.
People often ask why so many young adults leave small towns like ours. The answer is not complicated. It is not just about jobs. It is about mindset.
Defiance has built a culture that resists growth while simultaneously complaining about stagnation. New ideas are often treated as threats. Different perspectives are labeled as disruptive. Progress is framed as unnecessary change. When a community repeatedly chooses the same leadership, the same priorities, and the same narrow vision for its future, it should not be surprised when nothing improves."
Rest is at the link.
If you stomach it, check out the LTE The Crescent News ran after this one. Combined they are a "Mic Drop" on MAGAt 'Murika
My God!! This young woman speaks for me.
