No Endorsement for Mayor

Dan Corbin has all the skills and experience needed to be mayor (I think he will agree that is not a very high bar). He also has some good ideas about how to run the city council.  But he is spending more money on the race than he needs to.  This worries me in two ways:

  • I don't understand why he's doing it.  I worry about what I don't understand.
  • I don't think dollars should mean votes.  (There may be a name for this opinion: naivete.)
Billy Workman would make a good mayor except that he does not have the public speaking skills required.  I have no doubt he can acquire them, and if he is serious about a political career, he will.

Eric Nellis's qualification is that he willing to do the job.  I thank him for that.  He should continue to speak out and run for office.

I will vote for one of these three men for mayor.  I don't know which, yet.  I can't confidently recommend one.

  1. I agree. I do not understand the logic of excess spending on Dan Corbin's part, or why he had to take a $10,000 loan from his firm.
