Quincy, aren't you a little behind the curve? Shouldn't you be beyound asking us what we want at this point in time? I would have thought that you should be at the stage that you would know what the voters wanted and you would be telling us how you were going to bring it to us! Did you just wake up and realize that the job wasn't going to be handed to you. He11, what are you going to do if you get the job?

Change the whole tax system. Instead of paying property taxes to the county/city, have the council and board (you to Gabe)come to each door to collect the money as they need spend it. That'll change their spending habits.
Oh yeah and a new library would be cool

Lets see.... 3 race tracks.... Very ambitious. NOT I for one don’t want to put up with the noise from sprint cars and the such... put it out in the county. Can the current infrastructure handle the increased traffic flow and will residents tolerate the noise? I’ve said it before and I'll say it again and maybe I'll get an answer. We need forward thinking progress, this is NOT a retirement area. Those with any smarts move SOUTH and I'm not talking Iowa. Those that vacation up here in the summer go NORTH. The scenic areas and the water purity and cleanliness makes it VERY attractive. What about working with the DNR to improve the quality of our waterways and fish habitats. Why cant the city rent boats or canoes to those who would like to fish our area lakes? The position of mayor is nothing more than a paper tiger. All the real stroke comes from the city council and county commission. How did this happen? Can the mayor veto anything? until the system is fixed the progress in this community wont happen. Also Quincy.... before you go wondering why your not getting "FREE" air time.... Look into the political advertising rates. You’ll be invited to debates, however nothing is "free". If we do something with another candidate, there is equal time under law, but ad rates are available for the campaigns.

I'll bet Jean just loves to read what Quincy has to say.
Look at what that racetrack has done for Lansing...

We already had a dirt track. I remember watching the Joey Chitwood thrill show race around it on two wheels every year when I was a kid. I even remember one year when this Dane got inside a pine wood box with 3 sticks of dynamite and blew it up! Now that's entertainment!
The race track never did much for the town, but, if you could track down that Dane you might be on to something.
Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby (Democrat) An illiterate tax cheating, wife swapping pot smoking spend-o-crat... Hey, I am no longer illiterate!

"I sure hope Jean Eaten Loves to her what I say..she sure did on Tuesday!"
Huh?
"I talked to some jack A** at Jaxx that said he was with Power96 and he personally said that he wanted Jean Eaten & I to come on his show/station and debate...But when I called to set it up they don't want to go that way now??
I love the MEDIA"
Wow.... name calling out of our mayoral candidate and the implied profanity too. You’re a shining representation of immaturity and youth. Get this you monkey, I am the alleged jack*** that you mentioned. It was an idea....get it…idea, that we were kicking around and its not out of the water. Also, you don’t set up crap, we decide, and you be a good monkey and play the game the way your supposed to. With your aggressive attitude and latent hostility some may just be re-thinking their position.
Also how do you figure your numbers on the racetracks? Where is your data Quincy? Who’s going to build your race empire? Taxpayers? City owned? City run? County?
I agree with you, Albert Lea needs change and a progressive vision. I just want some details as to how your going to get it passed the council.
