If I would have had my way, the top three vote getters would be our new city council members. But when I look over this list it becomes clear that perhaps the most involved candidates with the greatest depth of experience and passion were resoundly (under 4,000 votes) beaten.
I refused to vote for replacement clones, so only one of my choices made the top three. It’s possible people seem to think they’re voting for a blank slate and a fresh start. That's the way it is. But the trends show that Janesvilleans continue to install replicas of previous and outgoing council members. Most residents should have nothing to complain about. Barack Obama has change and hope all to himself.
Top six vote getters enter the general election held in April. The top three vote getters will then become the new city council members.
