Please accept this question in the manner it is intended, just to get to the truth about why you are choosing to run for office after being out one term. I also asked all candidates in the other thread what their position is on the consolidation of fire departments. And please feel free to comment or post on any of your positions or really anything you might want to say to prospective voters.]]> Politicians corner Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:57:21 GMT http://theisland.heavenforum.com/politicians-corner-f11/stephanie-eickoff-t687.htm#23735 http://theisland.heavenforum.com/politicians-corner-f11/stephanie-eickoff-t687.htm http://theisland.heavenforum.com/politicians-corner-f11/a-message-from-mayor-rodgers-t685.htm Anonymous I think we (as a city) have made some great strides back to the role of a productive, fiscally responsible, and professional municipal government. I'm sure that some changes are less popular than others. So here I am to address, to the best of my ability, the concerns that ya'll might have. Obviously, I am not a candidate for this upcoming election but I will try to answer for the last two years in City Government.

We would love to know what your opinion is of some of the issues that we have posted here. We would also be interested in what your vision is for the city of Edwardsville. Do you advocate tax incentives to attract new business ? What is your stance on consolidation ?

This was NOT indecision on his part but rather an attempt by me to tokeep everyone from knowing his screen name. He did not request it and in fact didn't know I was doing it. I would have been successful except one of his post was followed by another's post and I couldn't change his without erasing the one following it. Confusing perhaps but I felt it should be ...

It is my understanding that you have never held an office before or even served on any committees. I'm curious as to whether you think it might be over reaching to go for the position of Mayor without having any experience in city government.
