Election

I had a customer at work talk to be about my election coming up today. He was very supportive even though he cannot vote for be because he lives in another town. He told me about someone he knows who is building a cafe in a nearby town that wanted to build in Roosevelt. The guy was denied the building permit on the basis that the council felt they needed to protect the existing established businesses. Sounded like the typical "protect the good ol' boys club" at it's finest.

Things like that are what I plan on fighting for when I win this election next month. Many in this city are tired of seeing growth all around while this town is basically stagnant when it comes to real tax base contributing businesses.
