Yes, it's a mere three weeks and a day until the election. So, in even shorter order, the Peoples Party publication, in one form or another, should be darkening your doorsteps. Will it be the second issue of the Heights Examiner? A series of mailings showing my head superimposed onto the body of a demon? Is it even possible that the Peoples Party hierarchy might actually discuss the FACTS, even if they disagree with how we got to them?
We shall see. The odds are that the Peoples Party hierarchy will likely not report the full facts; spin what they can into weird and convoluted accusations; and throw as much as possible at the wall, hoping that some will stick.
If this is the first time you've checked into my blog, I sincerely request of you to read each and every posting. I know, I know. My writing style might put one into a very deep slumber, BUT I honestly believe that it's best when one has the facts regarding a situation, before arriving at a conclusion.
I went door to door a bit today, and I spoke with one very nice gentleman, whose children I went to high school with. He told me he heard in certain circles that we're "blowing" money. I told him that the fact was that my predecessor had actually spent more, percentage wise, of the revenues the Village received over his last four years, than we have percentage wise over our past three. He did not know that. I'm hoping he signs onto my blog soon, and reads down several postings to where the facts are laid out. This whole Earl Carter-led accusation about money being thrown away is typical of his campaign style... "Forget the facts, and full speed ahead."
I'll have more regarding the general fund and motor fuel tax funds, comparing 4 years ago to now, in the next few days. Until then, keep an open mind, demand the actual facts, and read through the whole blog, pretty please.
If you need some No-Doz sent over, I'll see what I can do.
No no-doz needed! Mayor, I have read your entire blog, been keeping up with it and made some comments --you're succinct, direct and doing a very conscientious and FINE good job for the village! You will win, easy! I predict! I mean why would anyone want to go back when you and your administration are moving things ahead RESPONSIBLY forward! You are above board and your opponent is under water...! All the best to you and the Board of Trustees. I wish you good luck, although you don't need it, Mayor Allen; your outstanding record speaks for itself.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the kind words. However, I believe that this election will likely be very close. I don't expect that the voter turn-out will be quite as high as it was 4 years ago, unless I'm pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteNo matter who one supports in any office in this coming election, it is extremely important that everyone gets out to vote. These elections are certainly ones where EVERY vote really counts.
