Smart Talk
I saw Smart Talk on PBS this evening. The issue was clean air quality right here in Carlisle. It was a pretty good show. I don’t remember the name of the gentleman from the Clean Air Board, but he presented himself well. Also, Doug Wendt from Cumberland County Economic Development office was there. Doug did a great job too. It really wasn’t the typical Smart Talk I have seen before. Both were pretty agreeable that we need to do something to clean the air - I liked the ideas presented too - a focus on private-public partnerships.
I think Doug Wendt has a lot of great ideas and has done a great job at Econ Development for the county. I hope he decides to run for public office someday - I’ll be the first to support him.

I can see the logical conclusion - Doug makes good business decisions for the county, ergo he’d make a good elected official. The problem is that Doug was at CCCED and then decided to open private practice and charge the county double for the same services. A man can have all the horse sense in the world, but decisions like that speak volumes about his commitment to public service. Or maybe you know something I don’t?
