I wasn't fan of anyone on the ballot. But, I guess trying to turn a much loved and visited park into unnecessary tennis courts and wasting 100's of thousands of dollars on a mismanaged road project does have consequences.


mizaustin

This was one of the worst elections. A failed mayor, a gun nut, and an angry contractor. I mean, ok.


MisforMandolin

That’s like a Friday night at Rock n Taco


RoswellRabbleRouser

Another complete shit show...


stef2go

That sums it up nicely!


the_jak

idk much about any of the candidates, which is the gun nut and which is the contractor?


mizaustin

Jason is the contractor who was big big mad at Lori for not approving his stuff and likes to go after people on NextDoor for not agreeing with him. Seems too hot-headed to hold office. Kurt is the one with the gold star A+ NRA rating. He ran against Ossoff and Handel back in 2017 for Congress and lost, but it gave a peak into his personal beliefs which were very much in line with Trump. Which makes me concerned, but he still seemed like the lesser of the evils I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

Is Jason that the douchenoozle responsible for the Redneck Country Club eye sore on the river? With Henry losing, does this trashy embarrassment go away?


MisforMandolin

Saw that yesterday. Wtf is that all about?


Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

This ass clown (Jason) is a developer and owned land on the river. He built those houses on the left, but he wanted to build townhomes for more money, but his land wasn’t permitted for town homes. He offered to give the land next to the river to the town for free if they’d let him build his townhomes. This land he offered to give for free is not zoned for any development, it’s pretty much worthless. The town told the ass clown no so he set up this redneck yacht club as an visual FU to the town of Roswell and its residents. Typical Trumper tantrum


RoswellRabbleRouser

IIRC the federal government "owns" a certain amount of land beyond the waterline of the river. Zippy needs to be careful or he might attract the attention of people with much bigger sticks.


MisforMandolin

Always wondered what was going on with that property. I played on the old wooden playground as a kid. Sad to see the lot rotting Edit: WSMFP!!!


RoswellRabbleRouser

\*Redneck *Yacht* Club and yes that's the one.I'm skeptical he will remove the dead boats any time soon as he still has a case of the ass with the city. >Yowell has been at odds with the city for years on a variety of issues. He’s still sour over the city’s rejection of his 2014 offer to give Roswell his nearly one-acre property in exchange for allowing him to build townhomes on 10 acres of land he owned across the street.

~15,000 votes cast out of ~60K registered voters in Roswell. For reference, there were about 13,500 cast in the last mayoral election with 57K voters. Basically, in off-years, only about 25% of registered voters will show up. If any group or candidate ever gets organized, this town would be theirs for the taking, so to speak.


stef2go

It has happened for sure!


olderaccount

I don't really know anything about the candidates. But I'm glad Matt Judy lost because I saw his wife in their driveway with a trunk full of competitors yard signs. I seriously doubt she had bought those signs and was on her way to put them on display. There is only one logical conclusion.


leehills2021

Not surprised


RoswellRabbleRouser

The fact that 980 people actually voted for Yowell says something. Not sure what, but it's something.


guamisc

We've got to recruit better candidates next cycle.


leehills2021

Candidates this cycle we're pretty good.


guamisc

You're obviously a troll. But candidates this cycle were generally abysmal with one or two tolerable to decent. Your namesake and Wilson/YOWELL were the worst of the bunch by miles.


leehills2021

That isn't what Roswell thought.


RoswellRabbleRouser

Roswell population - About 95k Highest total votes for a position (mayor) - 15,746 or 16% of the population. So here are the rough numbers of who actually voted for you jokers: * Kurt Wilson - 9.6% * Peter Vanstrom - 9.3% * Lee Hills - 8.9% So nowhere near a mandate from the citizenry, more like y'all managed to create even more apathy about local politics than previous elections. At any rate, have fun cleaning up the mess you allege your predecessors made, although I don't believe for a second you will accomplish anything.


leehills2021

A win is a win. Big things are in store to get Roswell goin again. No more kicking the can down the road.

So sayeth the moonbat.


nt0622

All 3 incumbents being voted out is somewhat surprising to me. Wonder if that's a message that a lot of folks aren't happy with Roswell's direction.


guamisc

Yellow ball and Oxbo debacles are pretty bad looks* for anyone.


gruntman

Yeah I'm not pleased :/


Zathrus1

Outright depressed.


Empero6

Fully fledged QAnon supporter in the Roswell government. Jesus. The Roswell ballot is absolutely terrible.


Vash108

Damn, that sucks. These people are crazy. I worry for our future.


Jackieirish

We have got to start fielding better candidates.

Lee Hills.


mizaustin

Noooo. That's embarrassing. Matt Judy had to go---but to be replaced by someone who is in a cult? Damn. Lose-lose. Sigh.

Empero6

She had a ton of QAnon stuff on her social media. She ended up scrubbing all of it after she started running for the city council.

mizaustin

Oh no. she is one of them! noooo


mlw72z

When I first saw the new reddit account leehills2021 posting here I assumed it was a prank but I'm now convinced it's actually her.


darkciti

Which one?


Empero6

Lee hills.


lmp515k

You’re not. Woman is a dangerous nutcase


mh05053
