It’s going to get a lot more expensive to run for local office

I didn’t say that, our mayor did. A few weeks back there was an article in one of the local circle jerk publications where they interviewed Curtis the Blurtist and Poops about the change in local elections (I support a November election though the council may be leaning towards June, which is bad because of the partisanship). Since most of the council is Republican I have no doubt that a majority including the mayor support a June election because it is mostly attended by Republicans so if they do just a little bit of research they will figure out who the conservative Republican is running for council and pick them based solely on that. If we move council elections to June, we will never have an indy or dem on the council again. And that was the ultimate goal of the legislature by doing this. Let’s just say they are gerrymandering using an election instead of a district.

But I want to talk about a quote in the article by Poops. He basically said that local elections will get more expensive when they have to compete with campaign advertising space with legislative candidates, etc. He isn’t wrong, it will get more expensive, but guess who started us down this ‘expensive’ road? TenHaken. This is a guy who handpicked council candidates then created his own PAC so he could funnel thousands of dollars towards his preferred puppet candidates and now he questions the cost of running in a local race. LMFAO! You are part of the problem PAUL! Not to mention this is a guy who attained a large part of his personal wealth designing websites for campaigns and getting his DSU ‘Doxxing Team’ on it. So now you are complaining about MONEY in politics?! Money is what got you and your puppet show elected, because it certainly wasn’t leadership skills.
