Both Marion mayoral candidates were asked recently what they would like their “legacy” to be after their possible time as mayor.
Nick Glew talked about how he wanted to be known as someone who listened to the citizens, business, and other leaders in the city to do what is best for all of us. He also talked about how much he loved Marion where he's lived all these years.
Allen “Snooks” Bouska simply said he wanted to be known as someone who ran a business in Marion and that he was a “friend to small business as mayor.”
Our town is mostly households, and while business is good, I want a leader who has my family's interest in mind, not just a company or a person who happens to run a business here. We need someone as mayor who cares about an entire city - not just the businesses. We need Glew.
