Regarding the new advertisement submitted by my opponent in the contest for Chouteau Township Highway Commissioner. Again, thank you for caring enough about our area to graciously accept these ads from the candidates. This is a great service you offer. He and I have both been out putting up signs and starting the ball "rolling". In the last election, I made up my mind not to attack or try to smear my opposition. I have chosen the same mode for this campaign. Having said that, my opponent has started off with some very misleading tactics. I WILL be addressing these as they come about. His ad on this site states that he "helps out" at the CNV Pump Station, as if he is doing some type of charity work. Very MISLEADING -- This is a paid job. He then goes on to talk about "the condition of the pumps" as if the Township has somehow failed to correct this, or has the responsibility or authority to do so. This is a problem of the CNV, and I can assure you it is being addressed and pursued with a vengeance by HELEN HAWKINS, and she does not let go. As for the roads and our streets being maintained properly......I would like for him to explain where he will buy an asphalt paving machine and a base pulverizer for starters. Maybe he knows more about budgets than I do. He is deceptive in the signs he has posted. The major political parties, (both notified by certified mail) declined to hold a caucus and therefore neither fielded a candidate. THERE ARE NO REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IN THIS ELECTION. AGAIN he is devious and deceptive. I can see where this could be too lengthly....I apologize and I will inform further in GraniteCityGossip.com Discussion Board |
