Major infrastructure projects in our civilization often require bond measures. Sometimes these bond measures are voted on by the general public and often taxpayer groups will yell and scream that the bond issues are costing too much money. That the government does not need to make these infrastructure changes and is only making them to provide more work for large construction companies who are in bed with large government bodies and in the pants of politicians or pockets rather.
Without major infrastructure projects, our civilization could not do all that it does. We need our roads, dams, pipelines and we need schools, government buildings and so many other things. Without all these infrastructure items our civilization cannot function properly. This is why public relations for Bond measures is so vitally important so that people understand what is really needed and what is extra.
When a bond measure is floated it makes sense for the government agencies involved to promote them through positive public relations and in a way, which is honest and has integrity in the process. Promoting a bad bond measure only causes more distrust in government and does not serve the public good.
For those government agencies who are often involved in bond measures they need to make sure they have open communication lines with all media outlets so that when the detractors start making noise the government agency can address all the issues in real-time and explain and educate what is really going on to the general public. Please consider all this in 2006.
