Opinion

To my neighbors in Woodcreek: It is election time for our city, and I want to encourage my friends and neighbors to vote Hambrick, Bonniwell, and LeBrun. I am making this endorsement because I believe they will protect our City from the negative effects of short-term rentals in our residential neighborhoods. The Planning & Zoning Commission has given the current Council a solution that has been tested in other cities. Yet, six months later this Council has failed to act. I fear their decision will not be favorable to my neighbors and I.

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.
