I am amazed at how many people don't vote; I hope your local elections do have a good turn out this year!

You should share the results after the election; it would be fun to hear who won after learning about their platforms! **Margaret Safford-Metro Atlanta Real Estate´s last blog post..Does the Metro Atlanta Real Estate Market Mimic the New HGTV Shows?

Sounds like a good man for the job-I'm kinda glad I don't have to vote in your area; you have so many great candidates running it would be hard to choose! **Linda Craft-Raleigh NC Real Estate Expert´s last blog post..Safety for Raleigh Home Owners

Well, I'm not from the area and I don't know any of the candidates, but judging from their posts on here it does sound like you have a nice choice of people running for election!

John Sentz has no credibility on the issue of experience. As someone who has been intimately involved with the present town council for several years, Sentz should have known better when he sent out his last mailer and left off the "paid for" disclaimer. This is a must do for any campaign committee and someone like Sentz should have been paying attention to the rules. Sentz, who was in the military and knows the importance of "attention to detail," should have know better. It's hard to believe that all his time on the Planning Commission has left his void of important details like that.

Sentz keeps saying he has all the ‘experience’, but look at what he’s done in Gilbert…made it worse! He claims he is all for small businesses and touts his phony self endorsement from his own founded group: The Small Business Alliance! (http://www.gilbertsba.com/News.asp?AID=AAAAAAAXGU)

But as a member of the planning commission he voted not to renew the agritainment permit for a SMALL business-Mother Natures Farm.

Commsioner Sentz, also approved an appeal that was brought by Alliance Residential for Main Street Commons that allowed them to turn their project into essentially a large scale apartment complex. The decision gave Alliance Residential legal footing and now it's costing the town tons in legal expenses. This was wrong for Gilbert! Now Alliance has tabled this project until after the election. Nice timing huh?

Additionally, he says he’s is all for bringing businesses into Gilbert, but it’s the worst, most inefficient and hardest place to do business in the Valley. Again, he has done nothing in his current positions to streamline it or make it easier!

This so called ‘experience’ is not what Gilbert needs more of!
