Re: City Council Filings

["JS M" <jbiggs50@hotmail.com>]

dumb question:  When's the election?  Is this during the presidential 
primary?  Does anyone know anything about these folks?  I know Steve Busch 
is the current councilman and I know an entire neighborhood on the north end 
of town which will not support him.  He didn't hesitate to vote for the 
Parkview Estates development.  As a local excavation contractor, is his vote 
something of a conflict of interest?
