CONGRATULATIONS MAYOR MCMASTERS!!!!  WELL DONE!

Great Job. I'm looing forward to your term in office. I really hope you can help our school.  By the way your son and my son Zachary are both in Engineering class together.   I do hope you can do something about the coercion that Huber homes subjects its tenants to by threats of increasing rent if they vote yes on the school levys.   Ill be watching the results.  Sincerely Dudley Hall

Congratulations. Talked to you last night. I remember years ago getting elected in local union politics both at the Executive(business) Committee and later as leader of the group where I was employed.
What kept me elected was I was completely honest with everyone. I never lied and I never hedged the truth. It is tempting to do so at times.
I always did my homework. I had a group of people advising me that had done the job I was in and I took their advise on most issues.
I once got the numbers wrong on a foreman's dues. It was a matter of a few cents. I went to him and reimbursed him the difference even though it was embarrassing to get the numbers wrong. That was the the reason. I might not be the greatest brain out there, but I was always totally honest with my people.
Our Union covered both our immediate bosses and the workers. Some resented us covering the bosses. But I treated everyone fairly when I was in office. Do the same as I did and you might have a long career.
This was one of the closest elections that I can remember. You will need all the support you can get. Consider me one of those supporters.

Congratulations Tom on a campaign well done.  Now the work starts and I am looking forward to some new directions within the city.  We need to change some of the old ways the city has operated in the past and NOW is the time….A lot of transparency will go a long way in the eyes of the public, more public awareness opportunities on issues and an open door policy to discuss issues.  And the biggest thing, is to move all committee meetings into the council chambers where there is more room to accommodate the public that needs to get energized to get informed, educated and enlightened on all aspects of city government.
