Your town has been hijacked by a band of desperados (CFG-Democrats) who are not in this race to honorably perform a civic service. They are desperate and fully intend to change and destroy anything and everything they can out of pure spite because they are losing the wind battle. No matter how this shakes out the citizens should never forget that the Dems and their mentor have put you through living hell for the past 7 years. If they win it will be because of some technical glitch not because you intended to elect them. If they win they lose and if they lose they lose. Cape Vincent is too good of a place to be run by desperados with no intention to be good public servants.
