I liked the following passages the most...
On Dec. 6, in a letter to the editor, the question was asked, Is Nugent's candidacy ethical? The same question can be asked of Monica Gates and John Salem. The implication is that developers are not ethical. I understand why we, citizens of Kingman, distrust the developers who have manipulated the city administration for many years to make decisions that would benefit them and not the public as a whole. To be fair, we must be aware that greed does not permeate the souls of all mankind.
... and...
The upcoming election comes at a critical time in Kingman's history. Developers and major businesses know that this area of Mohave County is vital to the success of their ventures which all of us will benefit greatly from. They don't have to develop in the city, and if the city government isn't prepared to provide leadership and secure plans for them, they are free to go to the county and develop and leave the city of Kingman begging for revenue or raising taxes so high to keep the city running. It is important that we elect a mayor and Council members who are highly qualified leaders of large organizations free of personal agendas and are most willing to be transparent with their activities, plans and involvement in local development and building the infrastructure.
The letter was signed by Dan E. Jones of Kingman. Dan I don't know you, but I think you are spot on with much of what you have to say. I hope there are plenty of Dan E. Jones' out there carefully weighing their decision on who to vote for next March and May. For those of you who want to get a head start and find out more about me (candidate for council that I am), please have a nice long look around this blog and get to know where I stand on local issues.
Also, in Sunday's KDM I understand that each city council candidate will be featured in that edition. Hopefully we will all get a better understanding on who the candidates are and how they view the issues in Kingman.
I hope the Miner includes each candidate profile on their website as well.
