Description
Audio clip from interview with Lawrence Weekly by Claytee D. White, April 22, 2013. Weekly talks about the struggles of being an elected official on the Westside.I' m just boggled by a lot of the dialogue about the Westside; that everybody keeps talking about the Westside because most people spend so much time talking about what the Westside used to be. I've watched a couple of documentaries about the Westside and I've seen some people who they've interviewed and they've made comments about, oh, the Westside ain't what it used to be and this is a shame about the Westside. But I have never seen any of those people come back and do a doggone thing, not bring one penny to the westside, not come to a city council meeting or a county commission meeting to raise one question about how can we. This is a take-take-take-take situation. Being an elected official, being a member of that city council was probably one of the toughest jobs because you're one vote and trying to get people to come out and help you fight on certain issues. See, the Westside is not going to ever look like Summerlin and Green Valley because we have too many issues. Whe
