Several Liberty City businessmen and residents met with Cynthia Curry, senior adviser to County Manger George Burgess, on Tuesday demanding answers on the misuse of dollars allocated for the Empowerment Trust Zone. Check out the Miami Herald's coverage of that meeting and a brief video on exchanges during the session.

The business people are angry and rightfully so. Curry did little to allay that anger and quite frankly, should have accompanied other county officials to that meeting. Others need to answer to the folks in Liberty City, they should not have sent Curry alone --- it's disrespectful.

Prayerfully, these folks will keep the pressure on the county to be accountable to them. Someone should be going to the federal government to demand an investigation and/or filing charges against county officials and the Trust board.

Let's face it, any resolution to this problem is not going to be pretty for someone. Continuing to kick the can down the road and waiting for this to go away, does nothing to help the people who need it the most.
