Don't know and don't care

"Don't know and don't care."  I got to thinking about those five words that were mentioned in the previous set of comments. Those five words have gotten us to where we are today. That can be said for both sides of our local government, as well as the typical response by many residents here in Mt. Lebanon. A case could be made for the following questions:

1. What about those uncollected parking tickets?
2. What is the warranty for the Public Safety Building?
3. What can we do with the property on McNeilly Road?
4. What are the rules and regulations for 25 acres of property in Scott Twp. and who is going to patrol it?
5. What is Wildlife Services' safety record?
6. Have our elected officials paid their taxes?
7. Have the guest bloggers on our municipal blog paid their taxes?
8. Is alcohol permitted on school grounds or municipal property?
9. Do we really need two Public Information Offices?
10. Who is running for school board?
11. What do we know about the candidates who are running?
12. How can we have elected officials run simultaneously for two offices?
13. How do we hold our elected officials accountable?
14. What is the new millage going to be?
15. Whatever happened to the owners liaison?
16. How many elementary schools do we have, five or seven?
17. Are there enough parking spaces for the high school renovation?
18. When are the Superintendent and Finance Director going to walk the walk and I don't mean Relay for Life?
19. What about the kids who are struggling with TERC Investigations?
20. What do we do with school board directors who plagiarize?
21. What do we do when our administrative staff submits false documentation to the PA Department of Education?
22. What ever happened to the District task force established in 2009 to fight student drug and alcohol use?
23. How can we build another Taj Mahal without a referendum?
24. When will our elected officials be more respectful of their constituents?
25. How are we going to pay for all of this?

There are 25 questions that quickly came to my mind. I am sure there are others, including the one that precipitated this post. Until we have a community wide attitude adjustment and take back our community, there will continue to be more.
