It’s not really unethical to support people you think would do a good job, especially so when the support is public knowledge. There is no code of ethics which forbids it. Now, paying them to see things your way- – - that is another matter and on the surface looks somewhat similar.
David for splitting hairs
how unethical can u get???? I would not vote for anyone that the Mayor and Council President has put money into their campaign. What are they trying to do have Council Members that are obligated to them because they supported them with money. Century voters please think this through, this is not what we need running our Town. We need someone that wants to be honest vote their own convictions and not be obligated to anyone. The same old people still wants to own Century. Please lets try to get someone that is honest in office. Our Town has been talked about and put down for the things that our elected officials do. Vote them all out and start a new.
I believe Jacke Johnston would be a great addition to the council. I only wish I could vote in this election!
VOTE HAWKINS OUT !!!!
Go Annie and Jacke!
Wish I could vote for you both!
