Snyder offers fresh vision

Sat., July 25, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

We have an opportunity to make a positive change for our children and grandchildren in the upcoming election for City Council. Jon Snyder is a bright, capable, creative man who will make choices for smart economic development, efficient government and a common-sense approach to our difficult budget issues. His vision for a strong downtown, with thriving arts and culture, will improve the quality of life we already hold dear.

An independent, creative voice that is ready to work for all of us, with an eye toward the future for our children and youth, will be a breath of fresh air. The business-as-usual approach is not working.

Please join us in voting for Jon Snyder for City Council, District 2, Position 2.

John A. Olsen
