With only a couple of weeks left before the election, our local boy Cameron should win easily. Should we be happy? You bet! He is from here. Wants to be a national politician and is a true leader. He will stand up for us and our valley, he wont go on FOX news and say George Bush or Hillary Clinton or whomever, masterminded the 9/11 attacks for political gain. He is sane, rational and will be a great representative of our City; a good family man who has nothing but the best interests of his constituents at heart.

On the other had we have City Councilman Frank Ferry. What else can you say about Frank other then “Where’s Waldo?” I mean, since Frank regained his City Council seat he has since taken a job as principle of a school OUT of our City, taken away a coach on a local team to join him there and is quietly pursuing numerous teachers and other educators to come join him OUT of our City at his new school. Is this a man who has the best interests of OUR City at heart or the best interest of Frank at heart?

 

Now we check in with the West Ranch Town Council, the other prominent political body here in the Valley. At personal risk to my column here I have to take a stand on the up and coming vacancy on the Council. Here is where free speech is not only expressed on The Beacon but as you will see, is hopefully applauded by my editor much to his chagrin, I assume. He also happens to be the President of the West Ranch Town Council.  So here goes……

 

Don Fleming needs to be appointed to the open vacancy. Other then Don’s wife Cheri, there is no better person in this Valley. The Flemings have done so much for this Valley that 1000 words in a column could never cover a third of it. If Don is given an opportunity to now be a leader in this community just think of the possibilities. What a wonderful man and a great family we have in them. Now to move Don into the political landscape would be the best move the council would ever make. Just think of it when Don then goes to Sacramento or Washington by way of the West Ranch Town Council! WOW!

 

Don has a passion for life, an honest desire to see the Valley be a great place to live and work and brings a great gift that no other candidate can possibly hope for; community respect. Don is a who’s who in the Valley. He is already respected by left and right. He will help the Town council in ways that we can only imagine and will bring needed attention and focus to our Sister “City” of West Ranch.

 

So in summery, we have VOTE FOR CAMRON, Find Frank if you can and West Ranch, please choose Don Fleming. These are 3 positive moves for our Valley. Especially if anyone can’t find Frank!
