After meeting with WR for this interview, I continued to pick up signs. In the process, I discovered that I had used three signs that dated all the way back to my first campaign in 1988! I was blown away myself to find these old-timers still in use.
For the record, I put out 475 signs in this campaign and 99.8 percent of them were down within one week of the election.

An interesting side note to this story: the original plywood signs we used back in the ‘88 and ‘92 campaigns are now being used as siding/insulation on a barn up in Molino where we stored signs for many years! Even when retired, they can be put to good use!

CONGRATS, Mr. Walker! Glad to see you back for another term. Any time we have had a problem Mr. Walker has taken care of it.

I think a town hall meeting to discuss projections for the next four years is a very good idea. We here in the north end are usually ignored by the downtown group.

Keep up the good work.

I to think you should recycle, but I also think the county (ECUA) should give back to the commuity with the profits from the recycle program. Now since Mr. Walker has been re-elected, he needs to start with the sewer project going north on hwy 29. We need growth from Cantonment north and the sewer project is the first thing needed. Without sewer lines we have no commercial growth!! Maybe a town hall style meeting, where Mr. Walker can let us know the future plans for district 5!!

Look at “The Secret Life of Garbage” sometime…it will definitely make you want to recycle. I think every school should show that film. There are 5 large plastic reefs in the ocean destroying the wildlife. There are areas where the plastic is washed up on islands from the currents. There are dangerous chemicals in out landfills and wasted metal that could be recycled. RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE!!!!
