MY THOUGHTS AND PLANS FOR MY TIME ON COUNCIL: 2019 UPDATE

During my time fighting what’s wrong at City Hall, people keep asking me, ‘But what are your plans if you get in?’ To them, I offer this and more:

I have already written, extensively, on my thoughts and plans once in Council, as well as my expectations for elected officials, city planning, what should be expected of the citizen’s legislative representatives. It is here:

MY POSITIONS: #1, LEGISLATOR/COUNCILPERSON


and here:

MY POSITIONS: #2 POLICE/CRIME/SAFETY


and here:

I Believe…


and here:

Why Ethics in Public Office Matter


and here:

COUNCIL COMMENTARY #2 Council’s Moral Responsibility

COUNCIL COMMENTARY #4 ‘Punishing Poor People’


and here:

WHITEHALL OHIO: THE CITY OF “NO!”


and here:

AN OPEN LETTER TO WHITEHALL CITIZENS


and here:

CITY HALL IS NOT THERE TO ACT AS A FRIENDSHIP SOCIAL


and here:

SHOULDN’T I KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT GUY WHO WANTS ME TO VOTE FOR HIM? PART ONE


and here:

and here:

SHOULDN’T I KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT GUY WHO WANTS ME TO VOTE FOR HIM? PART TWO: ETHICS


and here:

IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY: THE WHITEHALL WORKS DEVELOPMENT BLUEPRINT

(Ask yourself: ^^^^ How many of those who are already on Council and seeking reelection have ever written a 5300 word essay on a city planning document? Truly. What does it say about the dedication of a candidate who’d be willing to take the time to thoroughly dissect a government document for the citizens sake, that which has the power to impact their lives?)

This ^^^^ is all the literature I distributed, door to door in the last 4 years. This, along with all the points presented and argued over 10 years: here, in Council, in Letters to the Editor, on street corners and on Facebook, comprise my wants, desires and feelings about any time I may serve on Whitehall City Council. Compare ALL of that with my opponents, (from 2015):

 

White rectangle - Copy (6)

It’s all just bios. Zero information offered to citizens to understand their policies on fundamental issues regarding the stewardship of our city’s ‘brighter future’. Zero.

LWV 2015 candidate response

Their non-issuance of information begs the question: why is silence in candidates for public office in Whitehall a seeming requirement to get elected? What is it about them that you want no information to dissect for yourselves? How can they be given blind trust to do as they please with no understanding of their inner viewpoints? These are excellent questions, ones I feel best answered by the citizens themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see by the raft of information I have offered out of respect for the voters/citizens right to know who they’re electing, it is clear who respects the citizens right to know and their capacities of intelligence to understand a host of positions.
Because there is a certain group of people who say that all I do is criticize yet offer up no thoughts, solutions, or considerations for what I plan to do, this is, in part, for them. If at this point, anyone maintains they don’t know what my positions are or what it is that I want from my time in service to the community, that is on them, and them alone. I have fulfilled my civic obligations, more than enough, in this aspect of our democracy. The rest is everyone else’s civic responsibility.
