Everyone needs to get out and vote! Our town needs the voice of all the people. Living in this town for more than 20 years I see nothing more important than to stop all the hate mongering and vile personal attacks and just get out and vote. Let us all support the people we vote in, and see to it that the Council provides quality and professional services for everyone in the town. We fluff our feathers like a peacock, but if we take a hard look in the mirror, we have many flaws as a community. It is not the same town as it once was, but it could be better with hard work, not just living in the past and wishing. We need fresh new ideas and new fresh young and energetic department supervisors. Our taxes go up, our services go down. We need professional management at the highest levels.
Unfortunately Harwin has made promises she has no ability to maintain. She’s clueless and her tax promises are a pipe dream. She also seems to think she will be a lone voice and a leader at council. Lol
Her tiny camp at the debate looked like a degenerate band of hippies some money men and my grandmas mah jong group.
