We fought the correct fight even knowing the deck was stacked against us. We didn't pull any punches, we didn't sell out to the highest bidder, and we acted on our beliefs. I am honored by the support and commitment this effort received and will never forget those who played an active role in this engagement. There will be more to come so rest up.

Congratulations to The Winners

My congratulations are extended to both Charlie Norr and Dan Scott in their efforts to control the future of Northwest Springfield for the next two years. This should be a most interesting race. No matter who wins this race, all can rest assured that every move they make will be scrutinized under a microscope and amplified.

Apathy Killed the Cow

It is little wonder that less than 10% of the population control and benefit from more than 90% of our shared resources. It is our own collective fault and a direct reflection of poor civic participation by the populace. When the future of Northwest Springfield is decided by less than 17% of the registered voters we have a serious problem with participatory democracy. Half of politics is just showing up to play the game and when you don't even show up to bat the ball you lose by default.
