The Secret Place: An Insider's Story

These days, it seems people love to confess. A day seldom passes without one person or another "telling it all" on some talk show.

With all the talk and controversy surrounding our upcoming election, there seems to be a feeling among some that perhaps a small group of insiders are really running this city. Indeed, some people seem to feel that our government generally, and politics in particular, have been taken from their hands by some "power elite" secretly making decisions that affect the lives of all of us.

Well, since confessions seem to be the thing to do, I, too, have a confession to make. I confess to being a member of that "power elite" who run this city year after year. The feeling of power is truly awesome. I confess to having been present often at that secret place where the future of our city is decided. By my presence, I have participated in determining the fate of thousands of people. Yes, I confess that I have personally helped make those decisions.

That secret place? It's the voting booth, of course. Why not become a member of the "power elite" yourself? Please vote. Stand up for the candidates and the issues that you believe will best serve Lakewood!
