CANDIDATES NIGHT TONIGHT

Tonight is Candidates night here in the Community. The "Old Guy"  threatened to wear shoes with holes in them, and a shirt  in equally poor shape. He said this would help in his presentation of living on a "fixed income." I told him there were a few holes in his idea. 

God alone will help him. We are already feeling the stress of campaigning in what "He" thought would be a friendly election. I told him he would regret it. Maybe we won't. We will see.


Well, I can pin him down and post some facts. Here they are.  He (Dennis) likes everyone, but is running with two men (Mike and Barry). They have different personalities, but can work as a team.  

They have promised to work with the  Residents to bring about positive change. They intend to involve residents. 

The biggest area that they want to focus on is the Budget. This is what drains the money from your wallet. A modest 2% spending reduction would be nice way to start positive change here in VW. 

They offer the following thoughts:

1. Start Budget Review on Aug 30; 

2. Review all initially approved motions, with cash expenditures, for a final approval in September;   

3. Require Bids on all major expenditures by starting with contract reviews immediately.

Well, he said more but this is what I could gather. Of course I have to say these thoughts sound good. Lets see what happens on March 24. Lets remain friends after the election !
