I do know it is to Oshkosh's disgrace if they are. For the parents of FOUR small children, one needing special attention, to be DETERMINED with such zeal to inject themselves into local politics is embarrassing and, frankly, ODD.<br /><br />If these were folks of independent wealth or were they past the child rearing stage their actions might be understandable but as they are, at this moment, fully engaged in breadwinning and child rearing, the added burden of public service could only subtract from necessary imperative tasks.<br /><br />Add that mysterious set of facts to the victim mentality and thin skins of both of these people and I believe you have the potential for serious breakdown rather than viable candidates for ANY office. I would argue that neither Monte is capable of fulfilling the duties of school board or common council member without the threat of snapping hanging in the air. Their emotional states seem quite fragile.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if constant pounding and full-time exposure will garner the Montes' hoped for results at the polls. I can only hope that the citizens of Oshkosh will think harder and longer about just WHO they want to represent their interests. I hope both the Monte candidates are rejected along with the snarling Mr. Esslinger.<br /><br />If that happens perhaps the next election cycle will offer better people whose real interests include a passion for solving the ongoing problems of our growing city rather than merely satisfying some arcane inner need.<br /><br />All that said, I wish you great success in your run for the board.mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895200797299787815.post-54204350774717176632007-01-27T14:31:00.000-06:002007-01-27T14:31:00.000-06:00I did know to click on the highlighted name and I went to that page 3 times and I could not see the e-mail link --- I'm just not too techno savy.<br /><br />Thanks for the info.Teresa Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01097990067216672469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895200797299787815.post-62289811641481889812007-01-27T13:55:00.000-06:002007-01-27T13:55:00.000-06:00Just for future reference, when the name is highlighted, click on it and blogger will take you to the person's profile.
