Anglin for the NIMBY Vote

Fifth Ward city council primary candidate Mike Anglin answers for council the question “What is a Neighborhood?”

The purchase of a house in a particular neighborhood is for many who live in A2 a very thoroughly processed decision. The values that the family holds are focused in this decision…

In time, the home becomes an integral part of the person’s life. As family events take place in that space, the home becomes more intertwined in the homeowners’ lives. Neighbors become friends, and people come to identify with their homes and their neighborhood…

I urge you to show the public that you believe in neighborhoods

      or perhaps you do not?

(Inexplicable indentation choice his.)

Anglin may not know this, but there are actually some people in A2 who live in buildings that they don’t own. Some of them live alone. And these “renters” and “singles” are even allowed to vote in primary elections! Like this one, on August 7th.

  1. OK this alone has convinced me *not* to vote for this guy. I’m not crazy about Woods again but Anglin is much, much worse.


  2. Not to mention that he completely mis-represents the storm water rate increases. He states that “our water, sewer, and stormwater fees are going up to support the increased service to downtown high-rise buildings.”

    Actually, the storm water rates are based on how much people use the service. Yes, the rates are going up, but that’s because we haven’t put enough into maintaining the system. It has nothing to do with downtown high-rises.

    Either he doesn’t know what he’s talking about or he’s deliberately mis-representing the facts. Either way that doesn’t sound good to me.


  3. “downtown high-rise buildings?!”

    ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…please don’t vote for this tool.


  4. Wendy Woods for City Council

    Experienced, Proven Leadership.

    Informed On The Issues.

    NOT MIKE ANGLIN!

    …enough said.


  5. His website, flyers (see Left Behind at the Fishbowl) and this comment show a total lack of respect for English grammar. Plus the el-cheapo MS Word flyers/site and fifth-grade-reasoning content show that Mike Anglin is far from a qualified candidate for city council.


  6. Slightly late, but: I notice your title slightly resembles the caption “Mike Anglin angling to be elected to AA City Council” under my July 4 photo of Anglin in the Independence Day parade:D

    (”Great minds” and all that)
