Let’s not elect Swore and his silly ideas

Former city council member Chuck Swore is running for council member at large. Unless you have forgotten, when Swore was a city council member he advocated the building of a science museum at Noelridge Park. I could never understand the connection to building such a museum other than Swore was in partnership on a convenience store across the street from the park. Also, Swore wanted the city to build a kayak rapid-water run on the river in the downtown vicinity. Whew. Aren't we glad that never happened?

I want people elected who have a passion for the city; I want good streets, a good police and fire department and municipalities. We are ridding the city of sleepy Mayor Kay Halloran. We are stuck with can't-do-it-without a consultant city manager Prosser. Let's not vote for silly ideas and Chuck Swore.

Incidentally, I am in favor of bringing back the police helicopter to this crime-ridden city.
