Hearts, Minds & Laws
Lately we've been inundated with flyers, signs and robocalls from city officials hoping to be elected for office within our city government. For our sweet thriving village by the sea, it's really been a contentious battle this year, particularly in the mayor's race. A newcomer has the temerity to challenge a long-time city commissioner/current mayor and it's been quite a slug-fest between the two women. I don't like the discord and shade-throwing, but I do admire the citizens who step forward to throw their hat in the ring. It takes a mix of optimism, bravery, problem-solving, compassion, humility and a lot of energy to change hearts, minds and laws. Thank you to each and every one of these volunteers who make a real difference. And may the best lady win.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“Let’s not be too hasty, Mayor,” someone shouts from her right. The blonde news reporter hands her microphone to a spectator, and it is passed through the throng. The frustrated voice continues, “This shouldn’t become one of your back-room deals to be swept under the rug when the public’s not looking, She asked a simple thing, and you give her the runaround. What kind of message does that send to the younger generation about city government?”
A woman adds her gentle voice to the mix, “We want to inspire our children to vote. Let kids know they can make a difference.”
