The big write up in the paper Friday was about candidate for council, Mr.Sor Lo. Councilman Andy Holcome failed to disclose his relationship with Lo and lay to rest any possible conflict of interest.
That makes me wonder what’s going on here? Is there a hidden agenda?
Look, its real simple, Bob Evans was the next runner up in the council election and he should have been appointed to the next open seat. So why this song and dance routine – seeking more applicants? Why can’t they just appoint him?
Mr. Evans took the time to go campaigning and he went through all the pains of running and he’s the runner up. He’s a very qualified person. Have you seen his resume? Wow…this guy is really sharp! He knows how to run a multi-million dollar business (LifeTouch), he’s a vet. (retired Air Force officer). He’s well educated and by all accounts he’s a real standup kind of guy that would make a councilman. So, why are our liberals on the council trying so hard to avoid appointing him? Could it be because he is a fiscal conservative and he might disagree with their fast and loose spending policies?
With all due respect to Mr. Lo, he’s never even voted in an election and he’s got a lot of catching up to do before we can consider him remotely qualified unlike Evans. But, if you listen to our liberal council members like Andy Holcombe he’s a contender??? Gimme a break! I must agree with Mr. Ey, something here is not right folks. If Mr. Evans is passed over I think its time to mount a recall election for those council members that rejected him.
