On May 6th city residents will go to the polls to elect two at-large members to the City Council as well as a Mayor. Comments will be posted as the candidates state their positions throughout the campaign. Their achievements, their viewpoints and their plans for the city will be subject to discussion. The candidates are on my blog list so that they have the opportunity to agree with, or to take issue with, comments.
In the interest of full disclosure I am supporting the re-election of Mayor Tomzak and of Vice-Mayor Kerry Devine. This is not to say that we agree on all issues; however, they both have shown a commitment to this city, a willingness to examine all sides of an issue, and an ability to work together with their colleagues in a positive, productive fashion.
Having gotten the preliminaries out of the way let's begin with some of the claims being made in the mayoral race………..
The subjects for this blog will be related to local, regional and, on occasion, state politics. It is NOT associated with any political party or special interest group. It is my hope that all sides will boldly venture into the arena to do battle on behalf of their candidate or to defend a position. As is the case in the rough and tumble world of politics rules will be kept to a minimum. However, keep the comments at least PG rated. If you resort to name calling you are admitting defeat.
