With world affairs moving so fast, and not always in a positive direction, sometimes we don’t take time to address matters at home.
Each year we have a chance to address those issues we think important by listening and voting for the city council candidates that we think have the judgment and experience to make informed decisions about issues that concern each of us.
Saturday, May 10, is an opportunity for us to express our rights and vote.
Bonnie Osler, an incumbent candidate, seeking a second term has demonstrated rational thinking based on informed evaluation of issues that have come before the council. She continues to demonstrate the energy and commitment necessary to address hard and complicated issues.
When she ran for council two years ago, she committed herself to study the issues and make decisions based on the facts. I have witnessed this when she has spoken of issues during council meetings.
Without a doubt she deserves a second term.
