I agree. Can't wait until next year! (But then the only vote will be for the one-year city council seat, right?)

I seems the "Keep Wilmer Growing" just barely derailed the train, huh? wow.

Let's pray that they can do better than the previous term of people. :)

Just to let Josh know, next year there will be three seats up for election. The one year unexpired seat and two-two year expired seats. Thank you Josh for your interest in city government.
