Friday Can't Get Here Soon Enough!

 

Friday the 28th will be the last day to qualify in the state's Republican primary. We already have enough gubernatorial candidates to field a baseball team.

We have lost one candidate this week. Jim Zeigler has withdrawn from the race for governor over funding issues. That still leaves enough contenders to ensure a runoff. Most of these would-be leaders are so inept that we may just write in Steve Holt's name. Doesn't everyone in Florence miss him now?

Locally, we're sure many were surprised by Brad Holmes' decision not to seek another term as District 1 commissioner. While commissioners serve an important role, animal shelter funding and road maintenance shouldn't be hot topics. Yet they are.

This time, let's elect commissioners who will demand fairness in these two areas. Only two? We may be missing something. Readers are invited to send their wants for the Eastern end of the county. We'll publish all submissions.
