THIS COALITION IS LACKING!!!

This Ashland Coalition represents the bosses. Who is this crew that self appoints?

Where are the workers, the folks who create the wealth?

This "Ashland Community Dialogue" has a fatal flaw. It represents the rich who are doing a big song 'n dance to make themselves feel better about owning million dollar houses with wasted square footage up there above the boulivard. If the shoe fits - wear it.

Invite some union folks for your so-called "dialogue"

Until you do... you are a pie in the sky endeavor that flunks the stink test, horribly.
ORDINARY WORKING PEOPLE ARE LEFT OUT, AGAIN!>

So, basically business gets together to dialog? Might try including other folks in a meaningful way.
