East Nashvillians to Hizzoner: "Karl Dean. This is your mess."

A property owner erected a sign (photograph at Pith in the Wind) suggesting that Mayor Dean did not do due diligence in dealing with 2010 flood repairs on their side of town. I find the fact that the Mayor sanctions shifting millions in federal funds away from community recovery toward developments for touristy Downtown difficult to swallow myself. Karl Dean will run for future office on the proposition that he brought Nashville back from a once-in-a-thousand-years catastrophe. I doubt we will see in those campaigns reality as it actually occurs on the ground in town.

You know? I would not mind seeing this sign pop up over at Metro Water's new toxic landfill in North Nashville.
