How many have taken the TV viewing time to watch City Council meetings? The audio has even gotten better. It has become increasingly evident that councilors spend countless hours in preparation, along with attending an array of assigned related city department subcommittee sessions.

Councilors demonstrate a strong caring for and pride in representing the city of Bangor. Such qualities are exemplified in their deliberations over the most recent agenda items seen and heard by this viewer such as: public safety, alternative fuel-related conversion costs, maintenance of local government accountability and educational excellence.

The proliferation of candidates’ signs at street intersections indicating their willingness to serve is admirable. One candidate very much worthy to consider is David Nealley, a fifth-generation Bangor man. He is willing and able to shoulder the important tasks that the City Council of Bangor undertakes.
