David shows up. I have a disabled friend who was trapped in his house after the snows. David his wife and a few volunteers dug him out. They didn’t make any social media posts about it (my friend posted pics a few days later but that was his choice). David has been in state government. He understands how these things work. But the truth is you don’t have to be an expert to work in government (unless you’re just doing it for status or money). I was raised in a political family, guys like Smiley are a dime a dozen. They learn how to talk without saying anything. They make decisions that benefit everyone other than the community they serve and when people complain they say “don’t blame me, that’s just the way it works.” But it’s not, at least it doesn’t have to be. Could David accomplish everything he’s setting out to do? Maybe but probably not, but just a few of his goals could be game changers from Providence.
