Who is the “Astoria Citizens Alliance” and what do these signs that say “Four More Years of Willis Won’t Kill Us mean? May not kill us but might kill somebody!

Sorry for the incomplete post.

And then I read the other person involved in the accident was approached by this man and was asked not to call the police?

The media also says, “The Mayor of Astoria, Oregon refused to cooperate with the authorities?

And then 30 days more or less at “Betty Ford Clinic”?

What magic does that place have that can send a person with many, many years of obvious substance abuse, presumably, fresh and ready to continue in a very visible leadership capacity and not be looked at by all, in this important time of new growth with much skepticism and non-confidence.

I personally see it as just another load of “Bovine Scat” and Willis really needs to do some serious soul searching here and not just in his interest but, in consideration of every citizen he was elected to serve.

I appreciate Willis’ love for Astoria but, I love it as well and so do the rest of you.

It’s a rare and special place but, won’t be for long with this kind of visible weakness and as we can already see will leave us open to all the dirty schemes and businesses that have already tried to exploit our desperation.

Drug and substance abuse in our community?

We’re already in the midst of an epidemic that seems to be totally out of control as I have been an involved witness to over the last seven or so years and it really doesn’t appear to be gettting any better and now to condone this conduct in such a visible leader?

Is this the example we choose to prosper to those we wish to encourage to stay here and get involved in our future?

As a citizen of Astoria or “The Community” as a whole, is this OK with you?

Note or your ballot and under every candidates name there are the words Write-In” if you can’t find a candidate you like.

Use it, but do not under any circumstances “Not Vote”.

Kharma will deal with “The Mayor” in the end.

The word might be out. I’ve had a few people ask me how to spell my name and tell me they were going to write me in. I figure I’ve got about 12 votes! Wonder how many you need to be mentioned in the paper for 4th place?

Now you’re getting ready to open up another can of worms.

Wonder how many ballots conveniently go missing or unexplicably are over voted when the need arises?

Kind of hard to manipulate an undervote or, wait!, an undervote leaves a blank dot to fill in for a much needed vote when the need arises.

Hmmmmmmmmmm!

You think this is why we can pretty much predict, by his/her closeness to certain agendas, who will likely win an election around these parts well before the ballots are finally counted?

I’d almost say the safest bet to make sure your vote will be close to being counted properly is to hand deliver it directly to the elections office and ask for a receipt that you actually delivered your ballot to them.

My point exactly.

Now, what if everybody did it?
