The Guardian is right. I feel much less threatened, as a Boise resident, by the anti-abortion, keep-the-brain-dead-alive folks, than by those who would continue slappin’ houses up as fast as they can haul the building materials to the lots. (With the approval of their friends at City Hall.)

I feel compelled to comment on current campaign slogans.

Have you seen Mapp’s? On his signs?

MAPP … The Future.

Cack! Mapp must be sent packing, if for no other reason than having such an over-the-top hopelessly lame campaign slogan!! Thankfully, the other candidates have exercised restraint. We coulda had “Just Do It – Jordan!” (with silhouette of a slam-dunking Maryanne). Or a salute to spiritual music: “Roll, Jordan, Roll!” Brandi – obvious. “Sweeter than Candy!” Tibbs could nod to the classic movie “In the Heat of the Night” with “They call me Mister Tibbs!”

This must end NOW!

Mapp – the future. I think I’m gonna hurl!

Mark Seeley

As all the comments have written, we need folks to run for office.

Mark , seems to be bold to me. He has no outside influence. I am sure he could learn to function on the council.

Mark fights for homeless issues. Not popular with the voters.
There was a congressman in Washington State , that focused on the homeless in Washington D.C.
Congressman Lowery took time to learn about the issue . This Congressman even slept a night with the homeless.
Mike Lowery was not flashy, drove a 1980’s simple type auto, but like Mark cared about the homeless.

Mike Lowery was elected to the Governor of Washington State.

If you like the flash of Brandi Swindell with no experience but new blood, give the same consideration to Mark Seeley.

In a christian perspective, homeless should have a hero.

Maybe that hero could be Mark Seeley.
