Letter to the Editor: Kadler brings fresh leadership to Rosetown council

On the third of December, we the people elected John Kadler to represent us on town council. Our town has been neglected greatly by past elected officials and administrations. Town employees (administration) have stepped into leadership roles and probable corruption. The past two administrators even assumed the title of “Chief Executive Officer” until I recently corrected it during the last election when I ran for mayor.

John is a very successful businessman, educator, and family man, as well as a superb promoter. I made a mistake last year when I ran for mayor. Though I would be a good mayor, Mr. Kadler would be better due to experience and character. The numbers showed the people wanted change, but I split the vote. My mistake, and I apologize to the voters and John.

As a true leader and a man of character, I feel many conflicts of interest will be eliminated by John’s presence. I believe council members will enjoy a more active role in the process of governing our tax dollars.

It is my hope, and the people’s as well, that we will resume the bidding process (open to all) on paving, tree removal, sewer pipe relining, etc. The so-called “in camera” meetings will almost cease so we can experience transparent reports on money wasted defending past mistakes from past mayors’ wrong choices.

Best wishes, John. Your open, honest business character will be a fresh breath to the tired lungs of the heart of the Wheatbelt.

Sincerely,
Bill Simpson
Rosetown
