Thanks For Your Support

The Election Vote from the General Election on November 3 was certified last week with no changes to what was reported on election night. For those of you who keep count, I finished with 551, Zucal with 604, and Buterbaugh with 61. And so it went.

I want to thank those of you who voted in this past election. The turnout in Ward Two was gratifying, the number of voters far outnumbering those of any of the other three wards.

While I won't return to City Council, what I have learned over the past four years will not be wasted. The New Philadelphia Tattler will be your watchdog, not only for City Council, but the Administration and what ever else needs looking at, and reporting to you, the voter. After four years I know where to look, and look I will. If you need a place to vent your frustrations, here it is. If you can't get answers to your questions, let me give it a try. If you have concerns about the city, items of interest, whatever, drop a note. I don't have the council seat anymore, but I do have New Philadelphia Tattler, and will report the answers, non-answers and evasions.

So, in short, I didn't get sent back to represent Ward Two. But I'll still carry your case to Council, report what I hear, and generally make myself more beloved to the Administration.

Thanks again for your support in the election. But it's over and I'm for getting on with trying to protect the City from the spending and fiscal irresponsibility which is lurking in the new year.
