Absolutely Kyle coggins.
All you need to do that is , run for Election and receive the most votes.
Does anybody know what the ECUA commissioners do? I tried to contact mine and the ECUA main office just answered the call, answered my question, and laughed about trying to contact a commissioner. I hope it is not a paid elected position and none of it makes sense to me.
Time to clean up the county commission &
The school board.and end those red light cameras…that are unconstitutional!!!
Can I put on a suit an play politician for a paycheck?
Party affiliation is a MUST
REGARDING:
“They all should have to declare party affiliation!”
They shouldn’t be allowed to seek elective office without joining a political party??
Seems unfair.
And remember who voted to raise garbage rates and have this useless yard debris can that’s made for urban area. Also remember who voted to raise water rates over 80 percent.
Just remember who’s responsible for increase of school taxes, for the millage rate increase and the increase of non ad valorem by 81% last year, for all home owners. Who’s responsible for the infrastructure not being able to support the new subdivision’s.
Goodbye, Kohler!
They all should have to declare party affiliation!
