I am responsible for the Meet the Candidates for Wheeler City Council forum: I rented the space, created the agenda/meeting guidelines and paid to have them printed. I personally contacted all the candidates weeks in advance and stated that — if they could not attend — they were welcome to have someone present to read their statements. Karen Matthews and Clif Kemp could not attend and had someone there to read their statements. Garry Gitzen and Deanne Ragnell did not attend or have a representative there.
I requested notice of the meeting in the Wheeler water bill newsletter and was assured by our mayor that it would be included. He then changed his mind and cancelled the newsletter entirely.
I next paid $289 to the Headlight Herald for the notice on page 18 of the Voter Guide, which was supposed to be mailed 10-10-22. However, it was mailed a week late. When I knew it would be late, I contacted Joe Warren at the Headlight Herald, who assured me they would do all they could to notify the public of the meeting through their websites. This was all I could do.
I am voting for Dave Bell and Mary Leverette. After attending the 10-16-22 meeting, my third vote will go to Walt Porter.
I do not hide behind any secret society. I am a 52-year member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters local 290 and a 30-year member of the American Legion.
