Adamson Marion’s progressive choice

Craig Adamson, a current Marion City Council member, should be re-elected by your write-in vote. In fact, Adamson should be on a poster for our emerging new Marion.
This is a community of small and medium-sized private businesses, investing their own effort and money into making a more vibrant community, followed by public spending that creates and sustains an infrastructure necessary to protect and enhance this investment.
And thankfully, what follows this cycle of personal and public investment is additional personal investment. Just take a look at the Marion Uptown District. Philip's Diamond Shop is building a new building on the edge of Uptown, Capital Commercial Division is building a new building right near the chocolate shop, and Jeanne and Paul Matthews are pouring their heart, soul and a great deal of cash into renovating Marion's historic Memorial Hall.
Private investors' confidence in Marion has been growing as a result of people such as Adamson. He's thoughtful, careful, and when the time is right, he is progressive.
