Calling for a respectful election
Candidates have now filed for the
Whitefish mayoral position and three Council seats. It is our hope
that the misrepresentation of qualifications, position on issues
and personalities be curtailed.
We must elect our fellow citizens who
best represent our individual philosophies and show the greatest
concern for the future of Whitefish.
Some of the real issues that should be
the focus of our attention are: representation of doughnut
residents, a new cemetery, use of TIF funds, critical area
ordinance, city budget, among others.
Divisive, disrespectful, and inaccurate
information about opponents have no place in our community.
Whitefish elections should be about relevant issues and candidate
qualifications. Candidates, and their advocates, should not engage
in tactics that misguide voters and undermine the electoral
process.
Let’s stick with issues and the future
of this great place.
