Issues For This Election

Again, I wonder what issues will be brought up during this city election.  Will any of them mirror what has been posted in this blog?

Example:  There have been rants and raves on this blog about council member travel.  In less than two months there will be another one of those annual National League of Cities events in Washington DC (3/10-3/14). 

Maybe the rants and raves have been productive?  Not sure how many members of the city council will attend this year but we will be monitoring the participant list.  As of this past Monday one councilmember has signed up to go.  Guess who?  Shawnee's own "King of Travel at the Taxpayer's Expense" Mickey Sandifer.

One more reason not to reelect him.  As a matter of fact if Mickey is your COW (councilmember from other ward - see post below Thur Jan 19, "Dealing with COWs") and you are getting tired of paying for his travel, contribute to his opponent, Dylan McAfee.  And if you live in ward IV and are also tired of his travel, definitely vote for Dylan (and contribute if you can).
