"So vote for the opponent because why?"

He is not self-serving in nature. He does not have a personal or political agenda. He is of good character. He embodies the basic values required of the position of a small town mayor. He is knowledgeable re city employees and a working structure that is already in place. The operations of the city will be maintained.  He will be on top of finances because he has no choice in this matter. It is required by the state to balance the budget. He will follow procedures. He can be trusted to show his work. He will explain himself if questioned. There is no reason to believe he cannot do the job.    

Our existing Mayor is a good example of why Mr. Mace will succeed. She became involved in city politics with a background in retail and worked and studied and figured it out with the assistance of people and rules already in place. He is someone with the capability and drive to do the same. He is an active listener. He will foster partnerships in a professional manner. He will adapt to situations at hand. He has only 1 focus and investment, Bay Village. The people will hold him accountable and he will respond to that. He will work to bring people together not apart. I believe a good leader sees that our vision is more powerful than my vision. 

With the current administration, when you put all the seemingly little things together, the behaviors, the attitudes, the reports, documents, council meeting minute notes (several of which are linked here and or on the facebook page) I feel the need for a change.
