Where is the community on the issue of saving a building and projects that support building community with a vibrant Community TV station? WPAAs, the Community TV Station, viability is politically controlled and has been for more than a decade. Some may hazard the opinion that a mute citizenry is much easier to oversee as a benevolent leader. Less Liability.
WPAAs biggest obstacle to success in its mission and its ability to acquire the building 41 So Main St is siloing of local resources.
A silo is a place where fodder is preserved and stored to provide nutritious feedstuff for livestock. A silo is also where guided missiles are stored. As such siloing appears to be an apt description of how some communities like Wallingford restrict valuable resources. For example having funding and functionality for Public Education and Government Access TV distinctly restricted versus treated as Community Access resources is siloing. Since some believe the content of community access is ‘food for thought’ and others consider it an ‘ever present danger’ it seemed to me to be a fit usage of the term.
Life in Wallingford could be more 1st Amendment friendly and supportive of informed opinion building...but rights must be excercised to make a difference. Are we on MUTE?
