Who is Cove Curmudgeon?

We are Curmudgeon. We have opinions, but we look to base them on facts.
Not on gossip, not on conversations about knee-jerk reactions to situations and actions by our council, the chamber, the EDC, you name it.

Curmudgeon cares about Copperas Cove, its rough spots and all.
Curmudgeon has been here a long time.
Curmudgeon looks at details found in city records and meetings, and also looks at the big-picture.
Curmudgeon looks at history.
Curmudgeon wants people to stop and think, and look at the message and its contents instead of the messenger.

Is the message true?
Is the message verifiable?

Sometimes, you just need to read the message and shove your emotions out of the way. Making business decisions based on emotion or how someone "made you feel" is not a wise thing.

Let's hope that the messages are not the handwriting on the wall. Not a message of doom and gloom in Copperas Cove's future, but that if certain courses remain unaltered, we will see more of the stagnation that our community can't seem to crawl out of in spite of itself.

This is a pivotal time in our city. Because of the "infighting" and "keeping score" by certain groups (and readers likely fingerpoint at the group "they" have an issue with immediately), it doesn't bode well for us. The rest of Central Texas will continue to pass us by if we focus on our sacred cows instead of what is best for the city at large. Sometimes the best thing isn't what WE want, and when someone tells us so, we take that as a personal affront.

"And now, back to your regularly scheduled program."

It's been a "bye" week for the city council, sort of. More on that later.

Peace, love, and bunnies, y'all.
