" So nice to see so many candidates come out for office. Its to bad we didnt have more choices in some of the other categories. My hope for RC is that we pick people that truly want to help us and will work for us. All of us need to keep in mind that the future of Sidney is being decided now. I think some of these people are in it for the right reasons and some arent. Lets be smart. Lets make educated well thought our votes.... "
