Candidates Merit a Vote
Letter to the editor

Watching the city council meetings has become a real challenge. The demeanor alone of some council members shows they’re not suitable for the job, and several of them refuse to represent the residents. We have 10 candidates running for three open seats, and our voters have an excellent opportunity to improve the council by choosing carefully.

Of the 10 candidates, two challengers would be real assets on the council: Michael Ferrall and Jim Woodin. Michael and Jim have a grasp of city issues, and they talk about solutions. The tone of several of the other challengers is so negative and spiteful, they would be even worse than some of the current council members.

On Nov. 7, I’m voting for Michael Ferrall, Jim Woodin and Councilman John Paul Ledesma as the only incumbent deserving a vote. I believe the three of them will engender the diplomacy and competence the council has lacked for years. I’m strongly recommending a vote for Michael, Jim and John Paul.
