Time s almost up

The deadline for filing for city council seats is approaching. A few have thrown their hats in the ring already. That's good. What would be better is if a few more would file for the positions.

If you are one of those "almost" candidates riding the fence about whether or not to file, take a chance. It's already been proven that Marion won't grow and progress if people don't step up to the challenge.

If you have some ideas that would make Marion a better place to live, file for a city council seat. But, if you are filing just to get your alley paved, don't waste your time or ours.

We need energetic, responsible people who are not afraid to buck the system or rock boats. Those people are out there. Hopefully, they'll be on the ballot in April.

Those who already filed — congratulations! You've already proven you care about this town.

Those who think "someone" ought to "do something" better get down to the city building. You can be that "someone."

If you are still undecided, your time is almost up. Deadline for filing is noon Tuesday at Marion City Office.
