Goose, I think guys like you and me have to look at it as "service" to our communities. That's why I'm on our Town Board. I'm a political conservative in a tiny Town with a very low amount of tax revenue. We're at the mercy of the County and State and 98% of our residents have absolutely no clue that that is the case. Between the welfare mutts, the retirees that want every possible service, the elderly that are already at the end of their rope fiscally and the average Joes paying for everything...it's a balancing act. The hardest part is keeping a civil tongue when another Board member makes a big deal about keeping taxes low and then 5 minutes later endorses the idea of spending thousands or tens of thousands on some wild idea. It would be a lot simpler if we could just be frank and call an idiot and idiot. But if you do that you hurt his feelings and his backers declare war. So you have to try to be diplomatic. Same when a citizen comes in and either wants the Board to address some issue the board has absolutely no business involving itself in or when they want the Board out of something they have a responsibility to address. And it's true, the citiots that buy the camp on the lake are always the biggest whiners. Get used to that.
I almost hope you lose, it would be better for you, but probably not for your community. :cry:
