“And The Beat Goes On.” It’s still the same old song as I’d expected it to be, because Lynn don’t have enough support from the townspeople she grew up with. There are those who could’ve voted but didn’t, and some who were qualified didn’t sign up so that they could participate. Why? As it’s always been, a lack of interest, foot dragging, and laziness. There may have been those who were actually scared to vote for Lynn Mitchell. On the other hand maybe it was her fault for not applying herself to get the voters to vote for her via an elections committee. There are enough people in the local neighborhood who could’ve got involved and given her more votes than she got. You’re slowly loosing your town to outsiders, who are now starting calling the shots more and more. $$$$$$$

Ms. Vhin, in a nutshell, I really like Mr. Proto as a person, and believe he has great skills, experience and talent that would really fit well with the decision-making body, our council. That said, I still believe that due to experience, knowledge of Cape Charles (culturally, socio-economically, as the president of a 100-year-old Cape Charles business), a sharp, decisive intellect, the historical family background that lends to a more organic long-term vision, as well as good old-fashioned Shore connections, that Mr. Wendell is by far the superior candidate for Mayor. That’s all.

Mr. Creed, as a come here I am confused by your statement. You seem to think Mr. Proto brings skills needed to the table, but you prefer he was running for town council.
– Do you feel he needs that experience before he is elected mayor?
– Or is the council the real political mechanism in Cape Charles, and his talents would better serve Cape Charles as a council member?

Very nice review of your qualifications, background and why you want to run for Mayor — hailing from Philly is a also a big plus in my book. I think you also did a very nice job in the candidate forum. I only wish you were running for Council instead

Sounds like someone with the qualifications, ambition and good ole common sense who will think outside the box and lead our town in a positive direction. Good luck George!

Nice write-up. I like the problem solving aspect; an ability that is not given enough credit. But I need to know more about your politics. Regards, RG

So as mayor, you would oppose closed council sessions and believe in the right of the people to speak (sometimes for more than three minutes) at meetings? You would not meet with developers without telling other town elders? I look forward to asking you a few questions at the candidates forum.
