I'm voting for_______ because...

He/she is a nice guy/gal
He/she/they go to our church
He/she has big business experience
He/she (or spouse) is a member of our _____ club
I don’t know anything about the other guy/gal.

I have heard these reasons when I have asked individuals who they are going to vote for and why. Really. Often, the reasons come in multiples, such as, “He’s a nice guy and he goes to our church. Or, “He has been a business executive and his wife is a member of our ____club. Reason #5 is usually added as the trump card…”besides, I really don’t know anything about the other person.”

There is still time to mend your ways if you want to make an informed decision for next Tuesday. What is important to you as a citizen of Weatherby Lake? Where does each candidate stand on issues important to you? If you don’t know, call them up. I’m sure each candidate would be excited to share their views with you.

Just in case:
Mayor
Alan York incumbent Jery Bos candidate

East Ward Alderman
Tanya Finn incumbent Brian Stevenson candidate

West Ward alderman
Steve Clark candidate Vic DeJong candidate

Municipal Judge
Mark Geran incumbent Bev Roper candidate

Proposition One
Allows City of Weatherby Lake to charge KC MO franchise fee for electricity use…Yes/NO
