It has been reported to THE GUARDIAN Mayor Nancolas is using his office space, city phones and time to work on his campaign efforts.
Mayor Nancolas has been dialing up any all people he can contact and asking their support for reelection. Mayor Nancolas has run unopossed in his last two election efforts. This time around may be different given the mood of business and commercial property owners. Their assessed valuations due to Caldwell East Urban Renewal Agency purchases of commercial property have created a fire storm of criticism and anger. Folks with commercial property have been hit with 150-400% increases in their assessed values.
Rumors around town are flying and the word on the street is that the three city councilors up for election may be in trouble this time around. There are at least three known people willing to step up and run for city council.
Employees at city hall have been telling people nobody can beat Mr. Nancolas. Running against an incumbent is always an uphill battle. But this time around there are plenty of issues from downtown in a death spiral to mismanagement of urban renewal spending on favoritism and boosterism projects. You can throw in urban sprawl and no plan for development of our city while you are at it.
Over promising and under delivering by the Mayor Nancolas and City Councilors will certainly be a factor in this election. People have heard all the "good news" from Mayor Nancolas they can tolerate.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
