Family should have a say in the Mitchell gift dispersal.

One man’s passion has come under scrutiny. He had dreams and a clear vision for remembering the past.

Fast forward. Half a million dollars, given to the City Of Ripon! Amazing. Let’s use it wisely…

It appears that the debate of the Mitchell gift has come down to a moral debate, leaving Ripon Common Sense viewers to ask themselves, is it wise to focus on the intention of the gift? Or is it wise to ignore the past and focus on baseball dreams?

Every “Tim, Dick and Harry” seem to be sharing the opinion that a baseball diamond in the hand is better than a community serving Cultural Center.

If you want to hear the past, listen to the descendants. They know.
