ELECTIONS
Yesterday we had our local village election, I am so surprised at what a person will go through, or will say just to win. The campaining done for this election gave a new meaning to ”dirty politics.” To run for any position is great if itis done for the good of the town, but to run simply because you have a personal vendeta that is just a shame. I feel ,to represent the people of a town or village is an honor. I am proud to serve for the betterment of the village, but in the 2 years I have been involved on the village board and my 12 years involvemnet in my village in one manner or another I see that the egos are bigger and seem more important than the issues. This is why I have decieded not to seek re-election next April. Whether, I am on the board or am “joe citizen” my voice will carry either way and just as loud. I suppose I am not cut out to build my own ego on someone else’s misfortune..
I realize that all elections are the same everywhere, no matter if it be local or national “crap” will fly…But it does not mean I have to be part of it…Sure one can stay and try to change things, or make the difference, but when an issue requires a vote, the majority still rules .
I believe in the system as it was meant to be..somewhere along the line the whole concept got taken over by greed, pride and lies…What a shame!!!!
thanks for letting me sound off, I feel better now.
