Mayor Morrison and Charlotte Farmer consistently want to place low income housing in
locations where it is not desired by the neighborhood. Does local government work for us? I think not, ergo, I will not vote for either in next election

Morrison voted against, and Farmer led the loudest vocal charge against the latest low income housing project.

The roads in San Angelo have deteriorated even further, since both councilwoman Charlotte Farmer and Mayor Dwain Morrison have been in office, thus neither one of them deserve my vote for reelection. All we got was money spent on yet another study which will confirm what the residents already know; we have high taxes and lousy roads.
