She's been in power for about 13 years, and done absolutely nothing. She has the very important stance of more firefighters and policemen and not a lot else beyond platitudes about fiscal prudence and things like that.
First, let me say, I like that we have police and fire. I really do. In the event of a fire or emergency they do a great job and I back them. But do we have a big problem with fires? I mean for this to be a campaign platform strikes me as a "supporting our troops" kind of thing. House fires were a big deal maybe in the 1950's, but they seem to be less so today. Response times seem good. Surely there are bigger fish to fry?
I think that if you talked to 10 people here in 13 you would have 8/10 (or maybe 10/10) complain about access and traffic. She has virtually nothing to say on the topic. Her big fix is the SW ring road, which as we all know is barely civic to start with. That's it. To me that's a big issue given that she supported the new development at Shawnee Slopes, and we'll soon have more expansion to the south and west. She has almost nothing to say on transit, or nothing of substance and basically adds nothing to what is probably the most important conversation for her constituents. So frustrating!
Anyway, I can say without hesitation that I don't know of anyone voting for her. Yet she will still win in a landslide. Such a disappointment!
I apologize for the rant here. I just can't believe we have four more years of this...
