We have a mayor who says one job should be enough to live on (“Caldwell’s State of City address to key on ‘climate crisis,’” Star-Advertiser, May 30). Yet he has two. How about him focusing on the one we hired him to do for us?

Parks that communities don’t want are being built, while the parks we already pay for are crumbling or overrun with tents and their problems. Roads are crumbling and desperately neglected. Homelessness is out of control with no solutions in sight.

The train to nowhere is a complete debacle without accountability or an end in sight. Build this, build that, when we don’t respect or maintain what we have. Taxpayers cannot afford constant tax increases, even those disguised as user fees.

Yet what does our mayor focus on during his State of the City fantasy and avoidance speech? Climate change. Better minds can focus on that. Where is his sense of self-control?

Do the job you were hired to do, fulfill the empty campaign promises you made. We don’t need more empty high-rises and overflowing parks. Begin there.
