FTLOM: Mitch Barloga

The last one on one conversation for the season is no time to shy away from a controversial topic so I attack it head on sitting down with Mitch from "For the Love of Munster". No name calling, no insults just a conversation breaking down legitimate concerns on the Ridge Road project. Mitch has decades of experience on trails, grants and funding among other things in relation to community development so as a resident, business owner and stakeholder on the original Streetscape plan I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Without a doubt we both want improvements in this area of town as does all members of the town council. So what do those improvements look like- New light poles? New planters? Lane reduction? Some of that or none of that- Time will tell. No matter what you opinion is on the matter you deserve your voice to be heard and your concerns to be considered. This is not a simple subject and can quickly lead to a breakdown in constructive conversations but this is something that will affect Munster not only now but also for future generations. It needs to be discussed at length through various channels so i'm happy to keep the conversation going with people like Mitch even though we aren't fully in agreeance. To get more information about For the Love of Munster join them for their next cleanup event on Saturday May 25th. I will be having one more round table discussion before taking a summer break with the show-and as always those are open to everyone so come have your voice heard. Top Tier Nutrition- June 2nd at 1PM
