CANDIDATES FOR POA

SO FAR, I GOT JOHN WEIDERT, WHO HAS COMMITTED TO OPEN AND INCLUSIVE GOVERNING. I KNOW JOHN FROM THE RECREATION COMMITTEE. HE HAS MY VOTE.

BOBBIE BATEMEN IS OLD SCHOOL AND A PROVEN FAILURE AS A DIRECTOR. SHE LIKES CLOSED MEETINGS AND MILITARY LEADERS.NO GO.

MARCY MERMEL IS FULL OF BULL JUST ABOUT UP TO HER EYES. SHE'S INTO A SMOOTH PRESENTATION, WITHOUT SAYING MUCH OF ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE. SHE APPEARS TO BE MORE OF THE SAME.

CLARK VERNON SUPPORTS OPEN GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS A PLUS. HE CALLS GROWTH "JOB ONE", WHICH I WOULD NOT SUPPORT. GROWTH FOR GROWTHS SAKE IS A DEATH SENTENCE. GROWTH HAS TO BE PLANNED AND CONTROLLED. BASING YOUR FUTURE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH WILL NOT WORK. BUT HE HAS MY VOTE.

GEORGE PARKER WAS PRESIDENT OF HIS LOCAL CHAMBER, WHICH TELLS ME WHERE HE STANDS. I CONSIDER THE CHAMBER AN ENEMY OF THE STATE. IN HIS FIRST PRESENTATION, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE. "THE FUTURE OF THE VILLAGE IS IN OUR HANDS." THERE'S AN ASTUTE OBSERVATION.
