I’m starting to see many political signs on our overcrowded and ill-planned roadways and arterials. Each sign reminds me of how important it is to vote and change the make-up of the present city council.

Ramiro Valderrama will continue to be a strong voice for transparency, citizen’s rights and sticking to campaign pledges. Ramiro needs help. We also need to elect Christie Malchow and Tom Hornish to counterbalance the remaining council cronies.

Meanwhile, the present incumbents have lined up their puppets so they can continue down the path of over-building, ignoring the citizen’s and ignoring the environment.

Developers would love for Tom Vance, et al. to get re-elected, … but would it be good for us? Of course not! Elect Malchow, Hornish and re-elect Ramiro Valderrama. They will be a strong, positive voice for transparency.
