Letter to the Editor: 2020 Mayoral election

E-mail Print PDF
In both 2011 and 2015 Mayoral elections, I wrote letters to all the candidates for the position of Mayor. Only candidate Yogash Kumar visited with me in 2011. In 2015, after it was determined that a run-off election was needed, I was able to have a conversation with both McKinney and Galanis before the run-off election.

Madame G guide to the stars Week of Feb. 24

We benefit from the Sun in Pisces until March 19th. This mutable sign offers insight into the emotions of generosity and empathy. Buyer beware, you may also find an increase in self-pity and feelings of victimization. Madame G wishes you well. Learn to examine emotions as part of you, but not as you. Feelings aren’t facts. Consider how you influence the energy of others.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Dear Aries, the Sun is almost under your sign. Until then you must endure the emotional “touchy- feely” warmth of water. Your more fire-like nature may reject this yin-like quality, but it’s exactly what you need. Every creature has elements of yin and yang, even you. What I’m...

How about growing and selling pot to bankroll Social Security, social programs, and healthcare? We can pay off our zillion dollar national deficit with sales from the wacky weed.

“The legalization of cannabis has significant implications for state economies, as well as the national...

Happy Valentines Day! To the happy lovers out there, may you have many blessed returns. Enjoy each other and remember that forgiveness and kindness will never be overrated. To those who are not in a romantic relationship, congratulations. Focus on yourself and spread a little warmth and kindness to those around you. Embody compassion and love and be kind to yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Good luck Aries! You have a penchant for drama and you’re often driven to what is novel and fun. However, in the pursuit of those entertainments you may have left behind something of real value. Don’t lose a fortune for a pebble or you may experience the greatest pain of all, regret.
