They want ideas

I hope they didn’t pay some politically connected advertising “expert” too much for this slogan:

Governor Rod Blagojevich, Illinois State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick and Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Chuck Hartke today announced the theme for the 2005 Illinois State Fair and Twilight Parade — “All Roads Lead to the 2005 Illinois State Fair.” […]

In her first year as State Fair Manager, Bliefnick is asking visitors what they want to see at the Illinois State Fair. Illinois residents are asked to e-mail their suggestions to statefair@agr.state.il.us.

Get to it.

I sent a 10 point comment letter to the new State Fair manager - so response so far. Most of it involved updating the antiquated, tacky look of the fair itself.
But, I suspect this is just a media stunt, used to get another Blago appointee into the news. I know in my heart that politicos, especially this state’s administration have NO interest in what the general public wants, needs or thinks of them. But I keep trying to make a difference. I think it comes from having to take an exam to get to be a citizen of this great country.
