It's fitting that they have this election on April 1st because we are all fools thinking any of these people will do anything what so ever to better the community. If you are here illegally, work at the packing plant, have ownership in the packing plant then congrats to you. Everyone else in the city lost because of lack of representation.

What I find almost pathetic is that the most votes one person got was 1164. Is that all that voted in this city? Figuring a population of 26,000 that is only a 4.47% turnout!

You forgot to subtract illegals and children.

26,000 * 35% (legal) = 9100 legal citizens

of those legal citizens (I'm guessing) nearly 55% are children under 18

That's 4050 legal citizens of voting age

Of those, about 35% care enough to register = 1417


We need to work on getting more people registered and voting.

Well...figure it like this..the illegals that they are representing don't vote...well most of them don't but some might. (not that anyone would probably stop them) The people that own the packing plant probably don't vote here either so they aren't turning out.

There are a few citizens that think the commission will actually DO something for them and they show up and vote...little do they know. Right now some dude named Juan with no citizenship, no drivers license and no insurance is sipping on a Corona (paid for with your tax dollars) and celebrating. MAN it must be good to be Illegal and live in Dodge.

You kind of echoed what I was thinking. Soon though the illegals will be able to vote....hell they might as well.

I have a question...Is City Commisioner a paid position? If so, how much do they get paid? Is it an annual salary, or are they paid a set amount of dollars per meeting they attend? If anybody know the answer, I would greatly appreciate it if you post it here.
