    REGARDING:
    “Tweedie ran unsuccessfully for the office in 2000, 2004 and 2008.”

    I guess you have to respect a man who won’t take NO for an answer. You don’t have to vote for him, but you HAVE to respect him.

    He may be a good man.
    I know Larry is.

    David for gumption,
    the voters and Larry

    I’m not concerned what kind of hat Mr. Walker wears. What matters to me is that whenever I have had an issue with ECUA and called Mr. Walker, he has called me back immediately and continued to follow up until the issue was resolved. I just wish all of our County officials (elected and appointed) were this responsive.

    I find it hard to believe Mr Walker is a true Republican. When he walks around with a union hat on telling people how hard the Union works. Yet the Unions are why we do not have jobs left in the US. And schools can not get rid on poor preforming teachers.
