Is Shacklett trying to become a career politician > running for City Council, if elected will he not take office so he can run for State Rep? That means will cost the City another election.
Bill, you are a great guy but make up your mind what you want to do in life.

Remember,
Please vote these peoples politics and not their party. Investigate and ask the questions. Just because you have heard their name or heard they do a good job doesn't mean they do. Look at their voting record on bills and make an educated decision.
