I think you and I tend to feel the same way on a number of matters, including our preferences on candidates. I am hoping that the citizens of Wickenburg turn out in great numbers in order to execise their right and privilege. If the people don't get out and vote, then, shame on them. They will allow others to determine the outcome. Along with a need to clean house and initiate change in our national politics, the same is true here in Wickenburg. If you are satisfied with how our town is run now, then vote to keep the current leadership or don't vote at all. But, if you truly care about our future, vote to elect a new leader who truly cares about our future and isn't concerned about only the almighty dollar. Vote for someone who is actively endorsing a Code of Ethics for our town and who doesn't accept contributions from people who will approach them in the future for their support. It is up to you to determine who you want. The beauty of the secret ballot is that you and you alone know who you vote for. Leave friendships out of it. Vote without fear of repercussion. If you truly are tired of the same old politics here and believe that there is nothing you can do, then just stay home. That would be truly sad. Thank you Maria for your comments.
