Two Village Trustee seats are up for grabs this year. The Democrats have two candidates running, an incumbent and ME. The Republicans have one candidate, a mayor appointee/incumbent. I am not mentioning names because they have their signs, political ads, and letters to the editor. I chose not to do any of that campaign stuff. Feeling it is rhetoric and not interested in wasting my time or money, as I would not waste the tax payers time or tax dollars either.
I know that most people do not like my blog, my politics or me personally . Those are the cold hard facts. I can live with that. As most of you know, I have attended almost every village board meeting for the past 5 years. I have sat on the "sidelines" listening and learning and then sharing my thoughts with you.
I am the reluctant candidate. I really do not care if I win this election or not. WHY? Because I am not like the others. If I lose the election, I will still be at the next board meeting and all the ones that follow. Just like I have been sitting in that front row seat for the past five years.
I am not going to pitch empty promises to you. That is not my style. I am tenacious when it come to finding the truth and the facts. Total transparency in local politics has always been my number one goal. I am anti-nepotism, anti-cronyism, and have zero tolerance for the good ole boys.
