Yesterday, I got a large flier in the mail about school board candidates. It troubled me, because it was the first negative campaigning I have seen. I noticed it wasn’t from a candidate but came from “Students Deserve Better.”
Yes, Kat McManus is fairly new to Loveland, but I have found her to be a quick study and fresh eyes on improving local government. Unlike her opponent, Kat understands the harm metro districts and huge incentives to Big Development can inflict on our community. She would work to see development pay its own way. We need someone who is more concerned about the price tag of an airport terminal than whether it will have a baby changing table. Ward 2 needs the thoughtful and responsive representation on City Council that someone like Kat, with the practicality of a farming background, can deliver.
