City elections losing ‘nonpartisan’ status
To quote the maître d’ in the extraordinary movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”:
“I weep for the future.”
Specifically, here, I weep for the future of city elections. The future for our city remains bright.
I have been a business person involved in manufacturing, economic development, steel fabrication and law practice in our city for more than 33 years. During that time, I have always welcomed elections for city mayor with a sense of comfort, inasmuch as the races have been non-partisan and thus focused on what is best for our beloved city, as opposed to any political agenda.
