Royal Oak City Officials Have Nothing Nice to Say About Royal Oak

Almost three weeks ago, I sent emails out to the members of the Royal Oak City Commission asking for their input on a project that I am working on with Associated Content from Yahoo! and Yahoo! I asked them if they would mind sharing their thoughts on what the greatest strengths were of Royal Oak, and what the greatest point of untapped potential that was to be found in Royal Oak.

I explained in the email that their thoughts on Royal Oak would be seen by local residents, other local communities, and might even have access to a national audience. I gave a link in the email so that they could take a look at the local work that I had done on this project up to that point to show that this was a legitimate request from a local writer.

Out of the emails sent out to Mayor Jim Ellison, Commissioner Michael Andrzejak, Commissioner Patricia Capello, Commissioner Terry Drinkwine, Commissioner David Poulton, Commissioner Jim Rasor, and Commissioner Charles Semchena, I received no responses. It makes me wonder why it is that these elected officials are not interested in national exposure. Maybe they should be contacted about why they can't come up with anything nice to say about Royal Oak.
