Time to look in the mirror

Posted

To the Editor:

In Jim Collin’s classic business book, From Good To Great, he notes that the difference between good and great leaders is when confronted with an important issue or problem they first look in a mirror before looking out the window. Speaker Mattiello chooses to first affix blame for the closure of the Park Avenue Bridge, “He has demanded why a fix was not attempted and demanded an investigation to determine who is to blame for what he denounced as a failure.”

Speaker Mattiello and the House have known about the deplorable condition of our bridges and roads for years and have put off taking the action needed for repair and provide for public safety. I suggest that both he and the House first look in the mirror to affix blame before looking for a scapegoat. A great leader would say let’s come together and find a solution – blame for this failure is his.
