  • More candidate information needed

    Sam Stanczak|Mar 27, 2013

    As a longtime resident and business person in the coulee area who has found himself more involved with the workings of the local city councils over the past few years, I would like to express my concern to my fellow voters about the upcoming elections for local officials. It would seem that we need, as our area grows, a more adequate way of obtaining information from the candidates, information that would give us a more complete understanding of their positions on local issues, some of their projected solutions and some means of measuring...

    At the city council meeting on April 10, they talked about going to this retreat in Moses Lake and what would be discussed. One of the topics was mayor/council members’ roles and responsibilities. I am pleased to hear that they are seeking this out. Once this is done maybe they can look back at actions taken over the last few years and revise some of them to make it right for all citizens of Electric City. As citizens, our duties are to be involved and go to meetings to insure our mayor and council are doing right by us. If they are i...
