1. If anything is happening in Suffolk it’s behind closed doors. 2. The big development in South Suffolk is being pondered by both sides, we think folks who would be enveloped in it are envisioning hordes of cars and strangers taking over the area. We believe the majority is against it. 3. Southern Magnolia playing at the SCCA will entertain less than a full house but actors are having fun. 4. A lady candidate for Council, her promo is here in “IS,” is said to be hiding the fact she serves as Treasurer for the SCCA. But why would she do that? 5. Local police, with some help from the Feds are mopping up the infamous Bloods and the streets are quieter at night. Do we credit the NAACP, Bill Cosby, or local police?
6. Who will decide if, when, and where we will build a new city hall, the mayor or the new Council? 7. We say ‘new’ because there will be at least one change; Duman or Martin will assume the mantle. ”Is” endorses Duman but we do not underestimate the power of women voters. The Republican Party switched allegiance with only days to go but that does not mean they will vote in lock step for Martin who is a bit full of herself. We also endorse J. B. Varney for the Council to maintain the one term theory and bust up the triumvirate of Johnson, Johnson, and Gardy. You know, possible perception of impropriety.
8. “IS” wants, for the good of local Public Schools, to see Dr. Debra Wahlstrom get a seat on the School Board. We would also like to see our weakened by Skeeter School Board decide where and when a new school will be located…anywhere but Washington St…too much activity there already and then there is the bank. We think we know you will vote for November 2 and this time it will be for, “Change Back.

Thanks for the nice summary. IS is making a substantial contribution to our community.
Could we please have more WWII stories from Mr. Pocklington? Also, I hope you have preserved much of these on tape in your voice for your family.
Chairman Skeeter is not at all qualified to sit on the School Board as the Chairperson. We need the best people in such an important role. Opposing Debranski is Dr. Debra Wahlstrom, an authority on school leadership, who would make many changes and I hope the voters in our borough provide her with the opportunity.
Is there really any hope for a better future, with only one possible new councilperson on the horizon? I don't think the people of Suffolk have learned their lesson yet with such a dismal prospect to gain new leadership on this governing board.
If Suffolk is going to improve the situation, we need to encourage new people to get involved and do more than watch the TV and call that civic involvement. Do we really need five and nine term councilpeople? I do not think so. How can anyone expect to change and improve our local government if no one challenges the status-quo?
Until the greed is thrown/voted out there isnt one person on council at this time that will vote his or herself out of a job. The city charter is safe for now
