I believe opi and Horseygirl has hit the nail on the head with their comments. It is kind of scary with the money situation here as it stands now, and will it get better in the future, good lord I should hope so. I know it may not be a good time to actually attempt to run for a position of Trustee here in Pontoon due to the current situation. However, I have decided to run and am going to do my very best to get elected. I agree with Horseygirl (Kelly Arnold) on a number of issues, and to be honest I probably disagree with some as well. Do I have all the answers NO, does any one person have answers again I'd say NO, if anyone who is running for any office here in Pontoon tells you they have all the answers, you'd better look for another name on the ballot come April 5th, because they've already lied to you. Would I listen to suggestions, YES, Would I work to find ways to keep within budget, YES. Am I a independent candidate, YES, YES, but does that mean I cannot work with others, heck NO. Will I lie to you NO, will I work for you YES, and who am I----- Ronnie A. Burton There is at least one good candidate for Mayor, is he the best, time will tell. There are two Trustees who have two more years to serve and there are eight candidates to chose from for the other four positions of Trustee, am I the best, who knows, I'd like to try.
