<DIV>So now Aaron Ament knows why Nancy Chaney was elected??? To bring Randy and Gary under control? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nancy was elected because the People of Moscow elected her. I didn't vote for Nancy to be Mayor of Moscow. I voted for her for city council though, and she was an excellent council woman. But I don't think, and still don't think she was yet up to the task of being mayor with only two years of experience, and think she is proving me correct. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I voted for Peg because I know that she had the experience, and the understanding of the job. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Moscow has not done well under Nancy's time. She is a good person. She means well, and is very determined to be a good leader. However, I think I was correct to point out in 2005 that she was not yet ready. I am willing to bet that she would not be reelected at this point because of the major errors she has made. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, nobody is perfect and being mayor is a hard job. I hope rather than bashing her like Aaron Ament does, we can help her out, because her failure to lead and make good decisions makes all of Moscow suffer. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I like Nancy, as a person, and think she is one of the kindest people I know, remember she is a nurse. But clearly she needs some help in this job she has taken on. I hope Aaron shuts his loud mouth, at least around the DN and LMT and tries helping instead. I don't know of one thing he has accomplished (besides ending the pledge) since being in office unless complaining about others is an accomplishment. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><BR><B><I>Dan Carscallen <areaman@moscow.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;
