Kwast on county image
I am proud to be a resident of Kings County. I think the values evident in the county and the spirit of our residents and their willingness to work hard to achieve worthwhile goals should be a source of pride. I believe that we are a community more concerned about substance than image and are willing to do the hard work necessary to continue improving upon past success. The question of how to improve the county’s image somewhat implies that the image is somehow more important or perhaps independent from substance, when in reality it is not. The way to improve our county’s image is as simple as working to improve conditions in the county. When you improve reality, the image will take care of itself. Significant real improvements take time and work and require responsible leadership.
