St. Louis Post Dispatch voters guide for Ward Two Tuesday election. (click here for the report from the Post.)
It's your choice in Ward Two this Tuesday, April 3,2012 and I urge you to please go to your polling place and cast your ballot.
By now you all know or should know my position, candidate wise. I am going to vote for the most experienced candidate in the Ward Two race, and here is why.
Crestwood must have a Board member who knows the position were in, and has a clear view of how to move us out of trouble into a position of strength again.
Ward Two must have a person who knows what we, the residents of the Ward want and need, and will respond to their concerns. For the past six years we have had an Alderman who does not answer emails and remains aloof from his constituents. We don't want or need another who may, for whatever reason do the same thing.
We need a candidate who has taken the time to vote (look up their voting records,) in County and City elections as that person is taking an interest in our surroundings, and knows the workings of our Government.
Lastly, we need a person who is ready to go to work for us from the day they are sworn in. There is no time left in Crestwood for "on the job training" as the clock is ticking and we had better respond, and respond quickly and correctly.
In closing, I ask that you please take a few minutes from your day on Tuesday and go to the polls to vote for the person of your choice, I know I and my family will. We hope to see you there!

Congratulations to BOTH our candidates in Ward Two here in Crestwood! It was a well run, clean campaign that they can both be very proud of.
I look forward to Mr. Trueblood's leadership on the Board, and I fully believe he will be a great asset to ward Two residents, and the Community as a whole.
Tom Ford
no congratulations for Mr. Tennesen?
5:58 AM Blogger: He is not in my Ward, so not on this thread.
Tom Ford
wow. only congrats to those in your ward. What about the fact that he lives in our city and has been elected to serve? Well, okay. Congrats to Mr. Trueblood.
12:02 PM Blogger: What about it, this is a Ward Two thread, get it?
Look under the Ward Four thread if you need further (other than your comment.)
Tom Ford
Yeah that's too bad about Nieder losing...AGAIN. Guess the voters in ward 4 have spoken AGAIN.
sorry, I looked. Do not see anything about ward 4. Could it be under another title?
6:16 PM Blogger: maybe you didn't look close enough, or maybe you didn't look in the right place!
Now be a good little blogger and do your homework or forget it and write your own flowery prose!
Tom Ford
thank you, mr. Ford. Pleasant as always, I see.
5:05 PM Blogger: And you ran for what? You really ought to try it before you pontificate to those that have.
Tom Ford
good heavens, I was merely asking where I could offer congratulations. Calm down.
9:48 PM Blogger: Ya, that's why you started with a smarmy remark ? Do you really think anyone will believe you wanted "directions ?"

Wonder how Neider is feeling after another loss
Disappointed I'm sure.
I congratulate his opponent on his win. The question now is if or how soon both Ward 4 aldermen will introduce a tax increase.
8:30 PM Blogger: Don't worry about that just yet. Alderman Foote is out (has missed 10 meetings,) and Alderman elect Tenneson won't do a thing until he is told what to do by Alderman Foote.

I am sure he is dissappointed. The responses in the Call certainly demonstrated Nieder was educated about legislating at city hall whereas Dan had no clue.
To bad the voters in ward 4 decided to continue with another yes man.
What do the voters dislike about Nieder?
Have you met him Tom?
8;27 PM Blogger: Yes I have, at the first candidates "meet and greet," hosted by Jackie Stock and me.
Tom Ford
That's the first time you ever met Steve Neider?
Mr. Neider has made a bit of a name for himself in Crestwood, I'm afraid. His reputation among the voters is...shall we say...well known.
10:11 AM Blogger: To whom do you reference with that question, me or another Blogger?
The question I answered was to a Blogger referencing Dan Tennison, not Nieder.

The reputationn does not appear to be known when the loss was minimal.
What is this reputation?
12:22 PM Blogger: i agree with the question put to you by the 8:24 PM Blogger, what reputation?
If you mean that he was a tenacious advocate for Ward Four and Crestwood, I would agree completely!
Ward Four had their chance to have a person who would have fought for the correct thing in Crestwood, but they chose an advocate of higher taxes.
An old adage opines that, "You get the Government you deserve."
