Suggestions for
Wilmington city government officers with comment:
Mayor: Cindy
Peterson has a proven track record for the voters to examine while
her opponent is a political unknown.
President of
Council: Loren Stuckert was a charter member of the new council that
changed the good ole boy system to one that examined and questioned
issues put before them. Loren's opponent has had trouble governing
the city. During his term as Mayor, the streets have deteriorated,
treated water losses have increased, an attempt to commercialize the
city's landfill failed to gain public support, refused to trim the
costs of the Human Resource department and his plan to increase the
non-dedicated earnings tax is of questionable merit.
First Ward: Bob Mead
was also a member of the new council movement and has displayed an
independent approach to city affairs.
Fourth Ward: Marian
Miller, currently holds the most important position in council
affairs, Finance Committee chair. Despite the fact that she is in her
first term on council she has proven herself to be an astute
questioner and explainer of complex financial matters. Her opponent
has had an undistinguished career on council and aligns himself with
the administration on most issues.
