I am hopeful more voters will be voting this Novemeber with the run-off voting system in place. As a voter, we can rank up to three choices. I ran for office in 2005 as City Council candidate in seventh ward and Minneapolis Public School Board member in 2006.
I am hopeful because the City is in bad shape. Taxes are going to rise again for homeowners and property owners. We need to attract more businesses to the area for better job opportunity.
Without opportunity, crime will follow. I am tired of supporting others if they don't care. I could use all the money I earn to live better than put up with crap. Considering a run for Mayor or City Council member in First Ward, could use ideas from others.
I'd be working for everyone, not the select few in power.

Well, I for one will be casting my first ballot this fall!

Not because of changes to the system, but because of my soon to be acquired voting age status.
