Are Aldermanic Candidates Really About Change?
Image: bajan.wordpress.com
I’ve been getting a lot of political fliers brandishing the word CHANGE. It is easy to throw this word around because it worked for President Barack Obama, so it should work for them, right?
As we continue to get fliers and other political information from mayoral candidates, I want you to do two things. First, call their offices to schedule meetings to speak with them. See if you can feel them out personally and professionally. Second, find out when debates will be held and be sure to show up. The candidates who fail to show up may not be as interested in change as they say they are. Be sure to find out why they didn’t attend the debates before hurling accusations.
Also, read and pay attention to everything that is printed or heard about aldermanic candidates. That will help you determine if they are really about change or the $110,000 salary that goes along with the position with no job description.
Which changes would you like to see in your community?

Blunts: 2 for $1
I turned purple when I saw this ad for blunts for sale. I was livid. I immediately called my alderman’s office to report it. Apparently, they are aware.
