In less than one year folks will be filing to run for office in Shawnee's 2010 elections. It's not that far away folks.
It is my opinion that three currently sitting city councilpersons need to be replaced.
Ward II: Frank Goode has been a member of the council since 1978. He has served the city and the people of Ward II for over 30 years. It is time that he retired and passed the torch. Eventhough he has a city email address, does he ever check it? This is the 21st century.
Ward I: What can one say about Dan Pfumm? Well, it takes more than a locally recognized family name to be a true representative of the people. Does he want to represent folks, or is it his ego? Ironically, when he ran for mayor in 2008 he was soundly defeated by Jeff Meyers, to include the voters of Ward I. He lost his own ward!!!! Methinks he needs to lose it again, in 2010. Maybe those same voters that did not support him for mayor will also deny him reelection to the council.
Ward III: Ahhhhhhhhhh, Kevin Straub. I won't rag on him today. He brings enough of that on himself. Just curious though...........is he a graduate of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Clown College?
