Genter Urges Attendance at Forum

TO ALL EAST RIDGE CITIZENS!

On Monday, Oct. 17, the All Candidates Forum will be held at 7 p.m.

I truly hope all citizens of East Ridge will be there to listen to each candidate and make an excellent decision on who will listen to the citizens of East Ridge and what we want, and not make a bad decision to elect anyone that will NOT listen to the citizens.

We have had in the past way too much corruption, which is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts everyone who depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority!

This is an important time not to elect anyone who has served before!

We, at this time, have a few excellent candidates to fill two seats – people with great experience and the knowledge we need to further develop our city.
