I am not voting for any incumbents on the council. I have watched in disbelief the horrific projects they have funded in recent years, and want change in the form of responsible use of my tax dollars. Things like the California Ave. project which accomplished nothing, and included imbedding broken glass in the sidewalk.

Add to that the police station artwork, empty office building permits that replace family restaurants. Art installations that are so tasteless as to be embarrassing. No viable program for RV parking. Enough already! No wonder companies are moving elsewhere.
