- Experience-both candidates for Mayor have "experience". Alan's experience includes service on the BOA as an alderman and Mayor. He has zoning experience plus was on the WL Planning Commission. He maintains longstanding relationships with Platte County officials, important because we are not an island but very much a part of the Platte County scene. He has been a proponent of using the Missouri Municipal League (MML) as a resource for the City
- Alan has an MBA with an orientation in Finance. He has in depth knowledge of public finance, public law affecting finance and Missouri policy issues as they impact small communities such as ours. He is an expert in the levy process. Alan has been following the water rate policy as implemented by the current Mayor and his campaign post cards have spoke to that issue.
- Leadership comes easy when times are easy, when Alan became Mayor the City faced a tough financial challenges where difficult decisions had to be made. It was because of his leadership that the City weathered the storm and set up the prosperous years after his term.
- Experience at Weatherby Lake is important when leading Weatherby Lake. I know Pat Botbyl claims to be experienced...a Mayor in Hawthorne, NJ in 2008. WL is much different, no City Administrator ($120,000) here to run the day to day business of WL. Alan has done it and done it well. Pat is still "learning the ropes" @ WL. He will make an able Alderman if he is not successful for his run for Mayor, and that will be good for the West Side.

Sad that Allan's latest campaign flyer had to go negative. "A vote for my opponent is a vote for the current Mayor's handpicked successor" vs. on merit alone. I guess I can't vote for Clark either. He was handpicked by the Mayor according to his information too.
2:06 I think Botbyl believes he can ride Bos' coat tails, where does he stand on issues? At least York puts out where he stands...Botbyl puts out political mumbojumbo. Tell me where Botbyl stands on the water rate, roads and Google Fiber.
Hello 206 - I didn't find it negative, just informative. Just something more to think about.
@ 206, Negative? They are facts period... 249 Botbyl stands right where Bos does. Under Botbyl here will be no water bill adjustments & no google fiber end of story. 419, exactly. Our community is going backwards when it comes to google fiber, and other vital issues.
