You do not want an elected

official who is always losing every vote. Being the 1 in a 4-to-1 vote

does not accomplish the people's business. We need someone to build a

team and to foster cooperation, not dissent.

I must state that many, many

citizens have told me they are repulsed by the vilification, innuendo

and conspiracy theories being thrown around today in our wonderful city.

We have gotten so used to conducting our business in this manner we have

forgotten how not to.

It is imperative that we elect

officials who can work together rather than against each other. There

are so many great ideas out there from voices we have heard from often

and from voices yet to speak. If you elect Fred Wellman to be the next

mayor, all of those voices will be heard.
