Candidate Forum:
I went to the NIT candidate forum event Tuesday night; chairs were scarce but I found one in the back row. After observing and listening for an hour or more I reached the undeniable conclusion that although there was a full five card stud poker hand on deck… there was only one player in that game who really knew the score… Max Weaver.
Weaver knows the city from the back alleys to Main Street. This is a city that belongs to him. The other four players trying to win Alex Kuhn’s seat seem more concerned about over-coming boredom and the lack of entrainment than solving the more major ills that confront this community we all live in.
We are still reeling over the Prestage debacle that in part led to the death of young Mr. Kuhn. This is not something that will soon pass; what happened here is forever embedded into the very fabric of everyday life in this community and always will be.
If then this candidate showcase was meant to introduce them to the public it did just that; the result was only one, in that stage hit the ball over the fence. The rest should have stayed home like Andy O’Brien did. His handlers did not want to place him in the ring with a home run hitter like Max.

Right Mr. Children! It sickens me to think people agree with Bookmeyer or his new errand boy I’m guessing O’Brien who didn’t have the guts to get creamed by the home run king Weaver.
The task before this community is much more criticle than what lies on the surface. One would think that having a seat at that table would be comparable to watching the corn dry….but you’d be wrong.
Not that long ago your life’s labor was at stake as it related to the equity tied to the resale value of your property. Had Prestage been allowed entry your home’s value would have dropped by half immediately, then would have continued to decline as the labor force increased and production climbed. Now those seats are not so benign.
If there had been someone at the helm of this city, there would not have been secret meetings held for months behind closed doors. It is aledged that Alex Kuhn turned down over $900,000.00 by saying no. If his share reach that figure think what the captain was being paid. Now ask yourself this……do you think Max Weaver would have tolerated such behavior?
That by itself should tell you who to put in that seat.
Now he is back to spreading rumors and bull shit.
Usually I do not agree with Children, but, this time I do. I too was there and think Weaver is the most qualified.
Well said. It’s refreshing to read comments that make sense as well as relate what many usually can’t put into words. ✔
Some time back Mayor Bookmeyer told me to my face that the last person he wants on the council is Max Weaver. Do I need to say I made my mind up then and there? 🙂 Can’t wait until Tuesday!
