The MAGAs in Great Falls are spending a lot of time attacking mayoral candidate Jasmine Taylor. Some commentators on social media claim that incumbent Mayor Cory Reeves will have an easy time getting reelected, but with all the attacks, I think Reeves and his supporters might be a little worried.

I would be worried, too, if I had raised taxes, fees, and rates as much as he has in just two years. I don’t think the voters in Great Falls want more of that.

The attacks have intensified, and there are 12 days left until Election Day, which is November 4.  The ballots have been mailed, and people are starting to return them. This is crunch time.

Yesterday, I told readers that I would like to see some new faces on the Great Falls City Commission. The current commission is a rubber stamp for the city department heads and the city manager. We need some forward-thinking younger people on the commission.

Therefore, I will support Jasmine Taylor for Mayor, Casey Schreiner for City Commission, and Matt Pipinich for City Commission. I hope you will join me.
