Princess of Power:

I think I’m going for Mussalem. My reasons aren’t great, but oh well…

Reason one: Mussalem wants more cops on the streets at night. Sounds great to me!

Reason two: Scott’s signs say something about “sound fiscal” something or other (can’t remember the exact words) but he has probably spend the most amount of money on signs out of everyone in town. He has more signs than anyone, and they’re all in full colour and with his portrait. Personally, I think that’s a waste of money. Sure it’s HIS money, but still, doesn’t seem like a sound fiscal choice. Maybe he would be better with “our” money, but the signs seem frivolous, and I’m sure that he’d do other frivolous spending.

So, even though they’re not really GOOD reasons, those are the reasons why I’m voting the way I am.

yeah they are very valid reasons… this is a tough vote… thanks for your insight

I read today’s paper and it had 3 questions directed to each candidate. I like the response Mussalem made on the 3 questions, so he gets my vote…

Don didnâ€™t say that he didnâ€™t want more cops on the street he said that we needed to consider all our options and consult with all involved â€“ I mean there are a lot of things that need to be considered before you can just say â€œyesâ€

Thats only poor fiscal management if it doesnt work out. I think you’d have to know a bit more about his finances before making that assumption as well. Besides, I could care less how he spends his money, it’s ours I’d be worried about.

I support his position of not selling our heritage when he speaks about Pilsbury house. Some land, sure sell it. Not This one though.
