I endorse Mayor John Stromberg. He is practical minded (having already saved the town much pain and financial suffering while shepherding us through this recession), consistent in values, inclusive towards citizens, respectful in council, focused on sustainable choices for the whole community. John keeps some things close to the vest, like his actual feelings on decisions already made by the council under his leadership. He rightly has the good sense to support the work of his council rather than grandstanding or playing for political advantage.
