I sure hope not. Already had a big police incident outside it. I don't know if we have a new dog ordinance or if they are going to tax my toy poodle. Any info on that? I don't want my cars taxed with a vehicle sticker. I am afraid people are just anxious to get some money from my cars and my dog. I see the 450,000 the old council spent on the Bandits might have been an even bigger waste of money as I read the Bandits are looking for a new home for the 2011 season. So far it seems to me it has been business as usual with nothing new that I can recall. Sometimes that it is a good thing. Politicians create costly programs so they can leave their mark. I sometimes think not leaving a mark might be the lessor of two evils. My memory is not the best but I don't really remember much over the last year that has improved our city.

This next election will take on a new perspective! What have our existing and new council members been working on to improve our city? Have our new members been progressive for change, or following the normal flow of order? Hello, it’s been one year this month the 24th, time flies. This next election will take on a new perspective!

Several of you recently have asked me or attempted to convince me to run again. My campaign manager who is well known in town, and wishes to stay private, has again expressed to me with others, that I entered the race very late and came through the primary with my clear stance at the forums. Some of you still bring up the fact that from the primary to the general, I had a 500% gain in votes. My manager and one of the past candidates has advised me to start much earlier at the end of this year. If this is to happen, I will except donations this time and will not donate the council salery. It appears with all of the county and state issues, this was not important to our voters. I had thought it would matter! So, forget about what I think for now, what do you think, should I run again? What about the other candidates, who should run again or not, and why? What about the past incumbents, should any of them run again? Lets hear what you think!

Let’s get back to politics! Hopefully the new council board will have a better sway for the people and listen to us for advice. After all, we’re the ones that are in the heart of the city.

Don't worry about readers not finding it. It will be seen in the Recent Comments part of the sidebar. If you flood the site with the same comment, then other people's comments will be obscured and missed altogether. I had to delete your other, identical comments. With regard to Boxcar, perhaps the best thing for you to do is to simply ignore his/her posts. Let's not feed the fire. Let's not antagonize each other. The election is over and it's time for everybody to settle down. Boxcar, please let's move on. Kurt, please post your comment only once. Don’t worry about readers not finding it.

Boxcar seams to enjoy himself by debating in the “elginite.org” blog site and using its space as a personal entertainment center for his own inner anger! So why don’t we give him his own page and ask the editor to transfer any of his views to this page, and this page only, so we don’t have to read his opinions unless we feel like being entertained like some of those TV shows such as Jerry Springer? RS, you might find this to be a good way to increase your sites viewing! He seams to love to write as he attacks people with his opinions, why don’t you use it to your advantage? There are people that thrive on this kind of entertainment, so go for it! You have to pay for this site anyway and the only way you make money on a website is by advertisement! So use his commentaries as a way to increase the sites viewing numbers to increase your income from this web site! He might draw more people with his racial, narrow minded, nationally uninformed, and targeted comments! He won’t tell anyone what his real name is, so he is safe from being killed by any illegal aliens or any discussed legal citizens that are frustrated with his views. This way he can debate with any that appose his opinions or be sided with those that agree with him on his own page! That is the power of entertainment!! If it brings more people to the site, maybe he could be given an income bonus for a percentage of all that view that page! At least the people that don’t want to read his stuff are not discouraged to even going to this site because they are fed up with sifting through his opinions to read what really matters and those who want to read it have a page to receive their entertainment on! I want everyone to respond to my proposal, whether against or for, by typing in; “yes - boxcar editorial” or “ no – boxcar editorial”! Don’t type anymore than that so it is easier for the editor to tally the count! Thank you for your participation! Hey everyone,
