My Picks for Tuesday's City Council Election

Schroeder and Calaycay


The Claremont Insider has a write up of the local newspapers' pick for the City council elections this Tuesday. I'm voting for Corey Calaycay and Larry Schroeder.

Schroeder's a smart finance type who gets that some of the spending that the City has been visiting upon us -- the Trolley anyone? -- has been a big waste. Check out The Insider for more on him.

Calaycay's a serious fiscal conservative who has been a lonely vote against madness. Still, I was disappointed by this vote against property rights. He says that he'll reconsider it in two years, but I'd like him to come out and say it was a mistake. Still, he's generally been a great member of the council and I'd like to see him continue.

For more on what they both have to say, please view this article in The Daily Bulletin.

Both men clearly beat their alternative. I heard their opponent speak at the local Republican club. She didn't seem to get that we are in a financial crisis. She was talking about all these social programs that she wants them to embark upon.

I wouldn't tell you to vote unless you were informed, but if you take the time to read up on these issues, please vote well.
