I try to respect all individuals who run for public office. It’s hard work. I don’t expect them to always think as I do, but I do expect them to listen to my concerns. This election I am voting for Carol Kunzeman for District 3 commissioner.

Kunzeman has the credentials and the leadership skills. She is respectful; she listens, and is trustworthy. She has experience with large corporate budgets; she has been a great public servant as mayor and council member in Ponderay and her focus is on “county business.”

Commissioner McDonald, on the other hand, takes credit for everything, does not know how to listen, and generates constant division. He uses his radio show to oppose issues like schools and wilderness such as Scotchman Peaks. When questioned about the ethics of a county commissioner doing this, his response is always, “I’m entitled to my opinion.” His supporters write letters accusing Kunzeman of running because she is “bored” and accusing her of big “liberal conspiracies.” Really? More make believe and just not nice and not honest.

McDonald’s fuzzy math about county savings is interesting. The numbers change daily and while cutting other budgets, he led the charge and increased his salary just a few months into office. Cuts for others but increases for McDonald?

Commissioner McDonald should get credit for his hard work. He should also get credit for his poor behavior and bad attitude. Please vote Carol Kunzeman for Commissioner, District 3.
