To the Editor:

C
andidates are filing for the next election.  Without your help, we may soon have a limited choice ballot of professional politicians, politician wannabees and toadies.  Candidates are applying for a job as our employee; not for a job as a voice for a few of their cronies.  Before voting, select an employee with verifiable and diverse traits and skills.  My preferred employee is described below. It’s not too late for your preferred employee to file. 
 
Knows community; meets job requirements; is overqualified; does not consider the position as life - long employment; committed to remain in position full time for full term; understands and accepts the salary; proven track record of experience and verifiable accomplishment in government or industry relevant to the job sought; is geographically desirable. 
 
Squeaky clean character; honest; credible; demands that all government be transparent; earned our trust; respects all equally; not obligated to any person or organization; minimally or not involved as member of other organizations; no conflict of interest; committed to integrity and mutual satisfaction. 
 
Is formally educated; good business judgment and keen understanding of human nature.  Leader who we would follow; experienced manager; effectively works openly with other government organizations and the public; proven record of successfully working alone or as a team leader; brings people together; works with subordinates, keeping their confidence; communicates effectively; not impressed with self - importance; takes time to think; asks meaningful penetrating questions; listens open mindedly; able to discern real bottom line issues; plans carefully and has the courage to probe and check information; wisdom to be patient and wait for an issue to unfold; self - confidence based on knowledge and planning; courage to commit to meaningful issues; can see the hidden ramifications of decisions made; makes and effectively argues a decision; complete and concise fact based answers to citizens questions; no strong need to be liked that prevents an ability to disagree when appropriate; works well under pressure and to deadlines; accountable for their actions. Knows how to develop successor and future leaders and managers; not afraid to delegate; does not manage by fear and intimidation. 
 
Fiscal conservative; minimal hiding in executive sessions; verifiable record of cutting costs and increasing efficiency; understands controversial matters such as local LNG, JCEP fees in lieu of taxes, Community Enhancement Plan, Urban Renewal, second amendment, and fiscal shortcomings.  Rejects conflict and ambiguity; able to laugh and have fun. 
 
Wishful thinking?
