Now the election is over.........

I would like to thank all those who supported me in this election and though unsuccessful in returning to Vernon City Council I remain optimistic.
I was impressed with the quality and depth of commitment of the large field candidates. It was a pleasure to meet these folks and get to know them a little bit. I get the feeling they will continue in their commitment to the betterment of our community. To those who were successful I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes. Our new council will have balance of old and new which I hope will lead to good governance. Putting your name in the hat takes a great deal of courage. To those who unsuccessful best wishes and I hope that you found the experience of running for office as rewarding as I did. All the best in the future.
Lastly I was very pleased with passing of the Cultural Center referendum. The vision of the few and the wisdom of the many will be praised for years to come. Cheers Shawn
