Let's try for stability in our city government
We support Morgan McPherson, Clayton Lopez and Tom Milone.
Morgan has ruffled feathers with his sometimes-controversial stands, but once he has said his piece, he is able to work well with the commissioners. Under his leadership, our city's governance has clearly improved. His opponents are popular and talented, but we question their desire to start their local political careers at the top. Smacks more of ego than a spirit of service, to us. Give Morgan two more, and until then let's all work on Teri Johnston to succeed him.
Clayton has tried to work with the Bahama Conch Community Land Trust, but they have chosen instead to make his seat a referendum on their governance. We love the land trust; we've left them an Old Town property in our wills. However, their clear managerial problems hardly qualify their side as a better choice than the man who has poured his heart into his district for four years.
People who love to vilify politicians have a clear choice in District 1. Tom is the kind of honest, knowledgeable, devoted and unconnected candidate we all say we want in office. The alternative is the kind of nasty drama we should have learned to avoid.
We live in interesting enough times, as it is. Let's try for a little stability in our city government.
