10 May is a time for new things


9   May is a better time to get something passed



8.  May is early enough so that there will be little or no opposition.



7    May always has a low voter turn out. Too many people will vote in November.



6   May is a great time to quietly put something over on the people



5   May will be quick and easy. A great time to saddle the people with a new charter… and then tell them that the vote was all "Their decision."



4    May won't interfere with the Mayors plans to hunt or fish. If we had to wait until November, he would have had to work at a time that he intends to disappear.


3.   May is a great time to engineer a quiet vote to take away any semblance of Democracy in St. Helens...and make it appear to be the "Will of the people."


2.  Getting things done in May, means that our invisible Mayor will be able to disappear for the rest of the year.


1.  May is a great time to turn over the power of City Government to an appointed person who the Mayor can blame if things go wrong or claim credit if things are right.
