I commend them for being willing to take the time and energy to serve a public need: that of keeping the city running smoothly, efficiently and growing in a positive way. Whether you agree with their platforms or their accomplishments is another story. The fact is, they are willing to make the intensive commitment to do a relatively thankless job. My hat's off to them. I know I wouldn't want to do it.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>SB<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If you don't like the candidates, you should find someone else to run.

I just don't think you want them living next door to your property, lowering its value and being noisy and all that stuff disabled kids do to the poor home owners in the area. I don't need to convince anyone of my opinion, they can just look at the minutes for city council meeting and let them draw their own conclusions. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It looks like Linda Pall and Aaron Ament are right behind you in declaring their candidacy for City Council. This will be neat having three people all running for the city council for the third time together, doncha think?! Nothing like having the same old faces running again and again for the same office again and again. I think they are going to make templates for city council elections with these three names on them permanently engraved. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B></B></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
