    • Thank you Mr Kramer…..

      While I can only speak for myself I do hope you will continue to be a regular here on the CCO, your opinion and insight as a business owner is very valuable.

      JMHO

  2. I want to congratulate Lon Walters on one heck of a campaign for the second ward council position. You have much to be proud of. I know it was a tough campaign and even tougher loss.I hope to see you run again soon.

    • I agree David, Lon did a tremendous job given the handicaps he had to overcome from within his own party….I truly hope he does seek a public office again he would be a great asset.

      JMHO

      • Well said. Lon, you are nothing but class, hard work, and intelligence wrapped into one. I am very proud, honored, and appreciative that I got to work with you this election. Please don’t give up and let this be your last election. Just let me know when and where you’re running again and I will put the yard sign back out and we’ll get you in office. I give up on the 2nd Ward til 2016.
