A candidate for another city position told me that Dr. Kott has no chance of being elected. In another election year I might agree with this astute observer, but this is an upset-the-applecart election. Check off what you want in a city council member:
- Able to understand the issues before the council? Check.
- Beholden to no one? Check.
- Interested in making the city a good place to live? Check.
- Good ideas that other candidates don't have (or at least haven't articulated)? Check.
- Has the time and energy to study and understand city issues? Check.
- Understands what the recall was about? Check.
- Well connected with a diverse collection of Killeenites? Check.
- Plays accordion? Well, yeah, but ....
Bottom line is that Kott is at least as qualified as any other candidate and he brings to the council an understanding of technology and technical tools that it needs.
Thank you for the endorsement. It means a lot to me. I believe that technology can be used to help solve some of our problems of communication.
