First off I would like to thank the mayoral candidates for having these events. I made it to Dennis Patton's and Harold McCarty's. I could not make Kevin's because of a scheduling conflict.
I would have to say that just on the basis of who attended the two meet and greets the town is still very split. My hope is that whoever actually wins this election can deliver and unite us as a city. Even if on just one issue.
I talked to people at both events I attended and I would have to say everyone seems to only see their side of the argument. One side of this argument will be disappointed next Tuesday and one will be given more power. I would have to hope that the group that "wins" and has "control" of the way things get voted on at council meetings can restrain themselves from rolling those who they disagree with as it will accomplish nothing positive. Having power and control means you have more responsibility and what happens from here out will fall squarely on your shoulders.
I have heard many candidates say they want to work together and that they do not want to see the personnel attacks anymore. Only time will tell if this will happen and only the candidates can make it happen.
Remember to vote next Tuesday.
