When I first registered this domain back in 1996 I went to Tony KIng and tried to get them to setup a website back then honestly I was going to try and make some money off of it. A few years later I offered to do it for free several times. Eventually I took over maintenance of the parks and rec website just to help out the Rec Director and make sure the information gets out. Finally earlier this year the Town decides to setup it’s own website, I mean pay someone outside to design the website for them after I offered to do it for free. It’s ok but once you investigate it a little you’ll notice there are a few things that just aren’t right. First thing on the front page look at the news section, who does a news section on a website and puts the newest items on the bottom. Second only one person within the town government has access to update the website so if say they needed to put any urgent information on the site, or in parks and rec’s case put up rain cancellations and reschedules, don’t hold your breath waiting for the updates since the same person that took 13 years on my suggestion to setup a website for the town is the only one that has access to update it.

To me this is just one case where the employees of the town would rather spend money with a company outside the county rather than let one of it’s citizens volunteer to help, because the powers that be think they know better. Because of this and many more obvious irritations with the management of the town I have decided to run for Town Council this fall please come out and vote or even run with me so we can send a message that it’s time for the Town to work with and for the people not just try to manage us because they don’t think we know any better.
