KELY Radio has offered a free five minute opportunity to speak to all seven candidates in opposed races on the November ballot. Interestingly enough, only three of the seven candidates have responded, and you’ll begin to hear from those candidates next week. It’s sad that the other four have not chosen to take us up on this opportunity, but I hope that it says something to you, the voter. If they won’t take the time to speak with us BEFORE the election, what makes you think that they’ll be responsive to YOU after the election? I don’t care what good old boys or pulpit endorses you, if I have a problem and you’re an elected official, you better be ready to hear about it. Keep listening.
