From my perspective the choice for Mayor is clear:
- re-elect a Mayor who isn't interested in working with the Board of Aldermen
- Elect Steve Clark who I absolutely believe will work with his colleagues to move the City forward in a positive, collaborative way. He has been an Alderman serving both the East Side and West Side. Steve has demonstrated leadership as the President of the Board and you will always know what he is thinking, in other words a straight shooter.
- Alderman Clark has been endorsed by his fellow Aldermen and all former WL Mayors.
Steve can't do it alone, he needs a strong board to pick up some of the load...
Current Aldermen Richmond (West) and Footer (East) will be at the core of the team.
As a West Side resident I think Britt Carlson will bring a fresh perspective to the Council and be a great fit on the Board. His background as a practicing attorney should be helpful in a number of ways to his colleagues.
East Siders please vote for Tanya Finn. She has been doing the "right thing" for a number of years and brings her long term perspective on where the City has been and needs to go. Tanya brings experience and history to perfectly balance the Board.
Steve Clark for Mayor
Britt Carlson, West Side
Tanya Finn, East Side

Sometimes it takes change to re-energize an organization. I think Gary's retirement gives us a chance to improve policing at WL. I believe the same goes for Pat B., I see Steve Clark as an upgrade we deserve. I am hoping he reviews everything in the city and make changes where necessary. We are ready.
I completely agree with you Mike!
I just saw the unofficial results on the Platte County Board of Elections website. It looks like Steve Clark beat Botbyl 56.64% to 43.19%, Tanya Finn won reelection, and Don Hoy won by just 7 votes.
