I am sure you are right about that.
I don't
care about what political party is in charge,
as long as they can do the job.
The other thing about making local elections apolitical....it would do away with the mentality of spending what is in the coffers before the opposing lot get their hands on it. This makes for better distribution/use of scarce resources.
Free local elections from party political bias and we would have much better services because there would be no back biting, name calling and the like.
I have lived in the borough all of my life, but I cannot remember what it was like before PB and his team ran the place....but I cannot forget how PB and his cronies spent money in ridiculous ways...ways that have left the borough worse off.
