ELECTION SEASON IS HERE AGAIN!!

EVERYBODY running for a position on the CITY COUNCIL had to turn in their applications by 5 PM. on March 12. OH, YES, a FEW SURPRISES - probably on both sides!! MORE LATER, but FIRST.

WOW, they must have stayed up LATE down at the VIEW to make it in TODAY's paper - AND, it was ONLINE as EARLY as 2:50 PM. yesterday. Of course, you all NOTED that for the fourth or, is it, the FIFTH edition (THEY will probably TAKE THE FIFTH on this, ha) THERE ARE NO LETTERS TO THE EDITOR!! THIS must SET A NEW RECORD, folks. ARE you NOT doing your CIVIC DUTY, folks OR ARE THEY NOT PRINTING ANY ONCE MORE?? I would SUGGEST that you call the VIEW.

In their ABSENCE, WHY NOT make this BLOG your site to send your letters. I believe that 95% of YOUR LETTERS WILL BE PRINTED right here. Let's have some dialogue!!

NOW, for the upcoming May 12th ELECTION: WELL, for a change I do know each one, some better than others. IF you all remember I PREDICTED in MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR that Steve Thurber would probably run!! Did NOT figure on Bill entering the race - MUST be some "strange thinking" going on over on THE OTHER SIDE. Charles Roccaforte, my friend and neighbor, is CERTAINLY MY PICK. Like Charles has said, he has been around here in the community since "dirt". That ALMOST makes him an Angel!! He definitely WANTS to KEEP Wimberley in the IMAGE it was before incorporation when VOLUNTEERISM made this community what it was - NOT DIVIDED and GREAT!! Charles had some VERY unpleasant visits with the FIRST City Admin. when it came to building within the city limits of Wimberley. Charles came out ON TOP most of the time but feels that much of the RULES & REGULATIONS for a town like Wimberley can be TOSSED in the garbage can!! Hallelujah to that!! HE will BE A GREAT ASSET to us all on the City Council!!

Am so VERY HAPPY that Jeri Xiques decided to run. What a very nice and intelligent lady who would add much to this City Council with her presence and depth of knowledge. The Xiques have lived here for many years and Jeri is also acquainted very well with the local IMAGE of Wimberley. She is certainly my pick and deserves your backing.

When Carroll decided NOT to run again, especially with his new position as the new Hays County Fire Chief, we couldn't have been HAPPIER when Dick Larson stepped up to the plate. Dick brings such a GREAT background and knowledge of the community. He will certainly tell you LIKE IT IS - NO punches pulled with Dick, just like Carroll.

FOR right NOW, CIRCLE the 12th of MAY, and the early voting times should be known soon. HEY, IF you WANT a SIGN for your yard or business for Jeri, Charles or Dick LET US KNOW. Thanks much!!
