Thursday, at a large gathering in Fountain Hills, I had the pleasure of hearing the keynote speaker, our Vice Mayor David Spelich.
Iâve been around the political arena for many years, heard more politicians than I care to think about. Most tend to sound very much alike and generally wind up saying nothing of importance. Well, that is not the case with our vice mayor. David is authentic, smart, fearless and very, very articulate. He had the audience spellbound as he gave a no-nonsense assessment of our town and what it needs and doesnât need.
For those who donât know him, David was elected to the council three years ago. He is a retired Chicago homicide detective, a man who doesnât suffer fools well and is not a âpolitician.â This big man with a big voice has a full-time job chasing down bad actors who abuse children and somehow manages to commit a huge chunk of his time to providing major leadership on the Town Council.
