Hooray for you, Henry.  Knowing who raised you, gets you my vote.  Now don't let this turn out to be an April Fool's joke.

[hhjacobs]

This is NO joke!!!!  I paid my 5 dollars to get on the ballot. 

[Wilma]

I believe you.  You were taught not to lie.  Do you know who else has filed?  Not that it makes any difference.  You have my vote no matter who else is running.

[hhjacobs]

The three, that there terms are expiring,Dick Adams ,me and one other one . I don't know who it is. Donna just said, at the time I registered, there was only 6 people registered.

[Teresa]

Fantastic.... good for you.. who are you running against?
And Dick Adams? Is he running for council? Because I thought you had to be in the city limits of Howard.
Danny I think.. would run, but he is outside the limits so he can't.

anyway.. Good luck Henry.. we need smart people taking an interest in helping run the city.

[Janet Harrington]

(This is me on my soapbox)

  If you have not registered to vote, call the election officer, Donna Kaminska, and see if the books are still open so that you can register to vote.  Her number is 620-374-2490.  Don't be want of these people who don't vote, but can complain with the best of them.  GET OUT THERE AND VOTE.

 Good morning fellow forum people. I will probably be out of town working at election time, I would like your vote, if you have a mind to do so.
  I would like to work on some things to make our city a better place to live. I know it will take a lot of time,but maybe new blood in office can make a difference.
