Stop, Look, and Listen Before You Vote...but VOTE I would like to expand on what I wrote here last week about the two types of people who run for office, the “politicians” and the “public servants”. These are my observations about our current council meetings: First, one member speaks at great length, campaigning for her latest ideas about what the council needs to spend our tax dollars on. Just because someone is very busy and vocal does not mean that she speaks for the majority of residents. After a few thoughtful questions or objections from other council members, their input is ignored and she, along with the mayor and a few of his yes men, go right ahead and do whatever they wish. I see that committees work hard to advise the council, and their advice is often ignored as well. This controlling group is a majority on the council now, but they do not represent most of us. Do we want a council that does what they want or a council who listens to what we want? 10/26/2023 12:00 AM

There are two kinds of people who run for city office. The first kind is the ‘politician’ type who has too much time on their hands, and sits around thinking of new projects for which they can take credit because they had a small part in getting the projects accomplished or just rubber stamping someone else’s ideas. Then they tout these ‘accomplishments’ to get reelected. Some of these projects may be the will of most of the citizens, but some of them may be just the will of a small but loud minority. These ‘politician’ types often run into trouble when trying to balance the budget of a small town. 10/19/2023 12:00 AM

responsive he is. Whenever I’ve had a question or concern, it’s Bob I’ve contacted. He has never failed to respond in a timely fashion to either answer my questions or direct me to those who can. For me, it’s reassuring to have a council representative that truly responds like 10/19/2023 12:00 AM
