Peru Negativity

Well, I am back to putting a few thoughts on "paper". I have been reading and responding to two blogs about the Peru city election. I am backing off of that because it is too easy to get caught up in the negativity being spewed on each of the two blogs. I found myself starting to spew the same negative garbage so I have taken a step back from it. I understand why Kristy, who runs the Change for Peru blog has to step back sometimes. I recently made some comments about one of the candidates running for mayor, and all the people hiding behind their anonymous tag attacked me in many ways. I found out they know where I live, and what my name is. Hmmmm! I have thoughts on the implications of that. So, if there is any vandalism at my house, at least I can point in the general direction of may have done it.

The two campaign managers that I know of are Steve, "Jennie's Ghost", and Joe, "Zoro". I guess Steve on the west end of 7th street has a real ax to grind with Baker, and Juniper Joe is a staunch Baker supporter. Potthoff supporters are sort of caught in the middle. But, judging by the large number of anti-Potthoff postings as of late on these two blogs, he must be catching on. Should be interesting to watch.

I think the next most interesting race is the Spring Valley mayoral contest. Banks and Narczewski. Don't know who will win, but I bet there will be a fish processing plant in Spring Valley regardless of who wins.
