It is great to see people interested in city government and who want to run for a city position. In too many elections in the past, it has been a one-candidate selection. But remember, change is not always the solution to a problem. Electric City citizens voted blindly five years ago for change, and now it was causing lots of tension within the town.

There are a couple of “meet and greet” days scheduled in October; go and listen and hear what changes are coming in the future. City government and state government and national government have lots of parts, and sometimes the city council is not the controlling factor. Remember, signs do not run the city. Do your own research into what you want for your city in the future, before your ballots are marked.

Thanks for your support the last years.
