Well, we'll find out either tonight or tomorrow who the next Citizens Party candidate for mayor will be. The rhetoric will die down until the actual mayoral election kicks in. It appears that the frontrunners are current former alderwoman, Pat Leitzen Fye and Mayor Jim Gitz. They will most likely be followed by Craig Josten, Dean Wright, Marianne Garvins and Mel Lemanski. Good attributes for all of them, better ones for some. Whoever wins will be expected to elevate our town's economic climate, build a consensus among the east and west sides of town, fix the sidewalks, and do it all with a smile on their face. Interesting times for rural America.
Heard the first referral to our community as "Free Pork" with Trim-Rite possibly coming to town. When I first heard the name of the company I foolishly thought that it was an aluminum siding company. I guess we have enough pork producers (remember when they were called pig farmers?) in the area to support this type of business. We can definitely use the jobs in the area, but will the people in our area flock to this type of labor. I guess we'll find out...if the state grant is forthcoming.
