Have a Drink with the Mayor When You Place the "Right" Sign In Your Yard?

It seems there is a foul odor coming from the mouth of a town official. I received an e-mail sent out by our Mayor to his many followers. Some of those he thinks are loyal to him are very much against his views. Could it be? 

In this e-mail to his “friends," he not only attacked two residents running for council, but he also attacked a current councilman, and a previous one. Is the Mayor running for Town Council? 

It would appear that the Mayor has a slogan to help his friends get elected, ”they will vote as I tell them to vote." So much for the diversity of our town residents. 

Perhaps the Mayor should refrain from sending e-mails and do what he was elected to do; listen to ALL the people. 

In case you were not one of the selected few, allow me to tell you how Mr. Mayor ended his e-mail. A list of 5 different things for residents to do, none of which have anything to do with the finding out the facts and making a decision for themselves. However, if you put a sign in your yard for "his" candidate, he will personally come by your house for a visit and a drink! Lucky you! Or better yet, if you put a sign in your yard AND write a letter to the editor supporting Chris Everich, he will then leave you alone! 

I have one question, Mr. Mayor, are trying to use your power and authority to influence the voters?

Are you a minion of the mayor, or are you a town resident that is constantly ignored because you have a different opinion?

Vote for Bob King and Kristin Blais. They will represent ALL citizens.
