[StBernard] Send Emails to the Council

[Westley Annis]

Since we are talking about e-mailing council menbers, I thought I'd tell you

guys about my e-mail experience with Mr. Reppel.  I know ya'll have all 
heard me complaining about the dumping of tires and other material on my 
front lawn as well as the large shipping container that floated on to the 
driveway of a house I own and am trying to renovate.  I have called every 
number and asked every person I can think of to get this debris removed, 
including URG, Jack Stephen's office, the council complaints department as 
well as at least 10 other local government numbers that were given to me as 
I was passed from one government employee to another. I have been trying for

over a year.  As a last resort I called Junior's office.  His secretary told

me to e-mail Mr. Reppel and explain all this to him, which I did.  Within a 
week all of this debris was removed and is now gone.  I am happy about that 
and it makes the neighborhood look so much better.  Since then, my neighbor 
accross the street has started working on her house and has new doors and 
windows, as well as many more of my neighbors.  When one person starts, it 
gets others moving. This is something positive that I wanted to share and 
also to tell you that maybe e-mailing your council member is a good idea and

could be very helpful.  Good luck to all of you.
