An Editorial...The Grand Jury Petition

The current circulation of a petition to call a Grand Jury, for the purpose of investigating actions taken by the Grove city manager and two councilors, is a waste of taxpayer money.
This element, always in the back row, hatchets in hand, is re-introducing material previously rejected by the District Attorney. This group needs to find another hobby.
How about getting to work solving the problems of Grove, recommending solutions, working with government instead of against it?
This fringe group is made up of people mad over the construction of the 18th street extension, the airport users, mad over the city's efforts to re-title city property in the city's name, those against the hiring of our current city manager instead of their political choice, and some who want continuance of the good old boys days in Grove. This fringe element is ruining good people's reputations and their businesses. They make it difficult for anyone to serve at city hall, for the right reasons.
History is history. It's over. Get over it. Move On. Let's look to the future instead of the past. We have mulched these issues for too long. Grove is a city on the move, growing, and needing a positive well-run government.
Continued efforts to tear it down by this always cranky minority serve no purpose.
If it continues we are going to name names and let the stuff fly.
If you are asked to sign the grand jury petition we hope that you will "just say no." And if we are able to get our hands on the petition we will publish the names of the signees so that all can see them
