Looks like Jenn Daniels might be the right vote. Recently we wrote to the mayor and all the council members concerning the SRP power sub-station going in next to the Edu Prize School in Gilbert, and Jenn Daniels is the only one who responded. Granted, Jenn Daniels has not done anything that we know of to help resolve the situation, and frankly has not responded since the initial response, however, the initial response is still more than any of the others.

Here’s some info from the email that went out to PC’s – note, candidate attendance does not seem to be guaranteed:

February 12, 2009 – 7 to 9pm (refreshments and mingling starts at 6:40pm)

All council and mayor candidates will be invited. The location will be at:

Eagle Aerie School
17019 S. Greenfield Rd. (NE intersection of Greenfield Rd. (Santan Village Pkwy.) and Pecos Rd.

The forum will consist of written questions and oral questions. The written questions will be given to the candidates prior to the event and their answers will be available to read at the meeting.

You’re not much of a “Gilbert Watcher” if you don’t know that Joan Krueger has been a member of the Town Council for the past 4 years. In fact, Ms. Krueger has done a great job as a member of the council and deserves to be reelected. Wake up “Gilbert Watcher.”

Now…

I like Don Skousen. He needs to get some signs up in Gilbert so people remember he’s running. But I’m also curious about John Lewis’ position on the issues.

Dave Petersen is a good man, but a little to the John Birch side of things for my taste.

And dang it, I just don’t know what to think of Steve Berman anymore. He’s an enigma to me.

No matter what, I do keep hearing that Gilbert is less business-friendly than Mesa and Chandler (at least for small businesses).

Since I don’t own a business, I can’t know how true this is, but it’s been a complaint heard around town for years.

I’ll support candidates who can reasonably articulate their ideas for helping business growth in Gilbert. We must shed this reputation.

Are you tired of crooked, old school, out of control politicians like City of Casa Grande Councilman Dick, call me an angry fool, Powell?

Yes!

Dick Powell is a curmudgeon from the last century, vamping as a new day savior of the old ways in Casa Grande. He spits and sputters like a stovetop teapot when in today’s troubled times we need a smooth Mr. Coffee. It’s time for a Recall Election.

Dick spins a web of a bygone era, championing the fables of cow pastures and horse barns. Reality is, the ground around us is littered with cow dung, and the air stings our eyes with the fog of horseshit. Folks a lot of that horseshit comes directly from Dick himself! It’s time for a Recall Election.

Dick recently maneuvered to block a highly desired, major big box store from opening on Florence Boulevard, until the developer agreed to pay for a roadway, all the way through the Powell Ranch chicken farm. Then Dick voted yes on the project. Folks, this looks mighty crooked. It’s time for a Recall Election.

Dick recently argued for a new City Courthouse to be built south of town, on the other side of the railroad tracks. The only thing there now is junk cars, beaten down houses, and bums. Oh, and the Powell Feed and Supply store. Yet, another crooked move by Dick. It’s time for a Recall Election.

Dick has lied time and again about growth, traffic, and his vision for Casa Grande. He has pussyfooted about for the past 10 years. It’s time to block Dick’s bluff. The voters deserve better representation at City Hall. It’s time for a Recall election.

We deserve good leadership in Casa Grande. We do not need to follow Dick. Unrestrained, Dick will continue to lead us down the path to oblivion. It’s time for a Recall Election.

Folks, indeed, it’s time for a Recall Election. Yes! Let’s recall the Dick!
