Term Limits

Gonzales Citizens,

I’ve been a citizen of this town for 15 years now, and have watched as our politics in this town has gotten stale and corrupt.  I’ve seen 2 long term politicians be removed from office because of corruption of one sort of another, and with the DA’s mandating that ballots be retained as evidence in an on going investigation, I’m lead to believe there is more to come. I’ve seen senior officials believe they are above the law as they ignore our city charter, and run our budget like your and my money grows on trees.

It seems to me that they get complacent as they sit on their thrones.

I for one am tired of it, and am no longer going to hold my tongue to what I see.  I’ve put up my bulletin board on the back of my fence that has lead to many water cooler conversations over the last couple of weeks. On this weeks sign I call for term limits for our mayor and city council.

I'm not exactly sure what it will take to get those limits placed, but I know between now and the next election I plan on making that happen.  

I want to see new ideas in this town to make it grow respectfully.  I want people from the outside to see us as a gem, not a crooked place.  I want some vision, and our city management has to take the blinders off. 

Let's take a stand together.  If you know how to get something on the ballot here in Gonzales, PLEASE let me know. I don't mind being the point guard here, but I need a starting place. You know that mile starts with a first step type thing.

God Bless
Dennis
