Don,

Okay, let's simplify this.

NO!



Would you actually advocate a change to the Lakewood City Charter for this purpose?

I know you can't see it, but I'm shaking my head.

I love multiple choice tests! Wait, no, I don't. Sign me off of the "None of the Above" ticket. Unless you find a candidate to change his or her name to None of the Above and s/he runs for office, of course. Then sign me up for that wacky candidate.

Now caucusing, that sounds more engaging. "None of the above" sounds like a waste of taxpayer and voter time.

Count me in on City Manager system. I would rather have someone a bit more devoid of politics running the city than someone who gets in because they know what to say. Give me a good manager over a good politician any day. One has marketable skills, the others ONLY skills are marketing...themselves.
