Its such a pleasure to see additional citizens stepping up to the plate to run for public office at this time, but so far the only viable candidate I have seen is Mr Honey and he is keeping a low profile. He has his webpage but no other flash and flurry like one of the ‘mouth pieces’ that are also running. And, can we get him to designate a seat he is positioning for?

Just to bring some reality in here: I will have a website operating soon. In the meantime, it is easy enough to check my records and what I stand for. I have not changed my stance for smaller more transparent government. I have always asked that the public get involved. I will be working at cutting spending, using resources more wisely, and being accessable. I will have information on some exact issues in the next several days. Now it is up to you, the public, to make some comments here about what you need, what you want, and what you think needs to be done.

Anyone who believes public meetings have any effect on local politicians (unless the event is swamped and the folk really angry) is simply dreaming. Almost 100% of the time the decision is already made before the first person of the public says a word, and this decision is almost never changed as a result of public comment.

Seems T J Thomson has the same problem with grammar and spelling. Check his web site.

Last time I checked T J’s web site (which was when the Guardian article appeared) he didn’t seem to know the difference between possessive and plural.

The ironic thing in his case was that he was pledging to improve schools. The ironic thing about that was the City Council has no direct say in how the schools are run since schools are independent of the cities – at least in the Boise area.

Gordon, need a consulting job?

To be taken seriously as a candidate, I would suggest that you check your web site and declaration as a candidate for grammer and spelling.
