Or, Vote in the Republicans and that spells S-P-R-A-W-L! No more trees, just empty stores, banks, and acres of asphalt!

Vote in the liberals and that spells a Greek debt crisis at the local level.

The Republicans will have the advantage of developer money to run on...but the voters will have the last word. JCC residents to should review the records of these three candidates - and look at how is supporting them with cash - and then decide who has the best interests of the JCC citizens in mind. It's not these three - but you gotta vote!!!!

Safe neighborhoods? Really?? A new car wash facility beside an established multi-family condominium doesn't exemplify safe and good neighborhood planning, and neither does a huge continuing care facility off a small and winding two lane road. These are certainly very business friendly for the GOP and their developer buddies, I grant you, but not what most people consider safe in their neighborhoods (unless you're in a gated community and the growth is some other poor citizen's problem). GOP = Greedy Old Party.
