Eye on Oshkosh host Hentz to run for Common Council
For a little more than two years now I have been proud and honored to host Eye on Oshkosh - and in doing so, have helped enlighten the citizens of Oshkosh about the ridiculous spending ways of the majority of our current Common Council members...
With the exception of Paul Esslinger and Brian Poeschl, our city council members have displayed an attitude of "spend now and figure out how to pay for it later." They seem unable to distinguish between needs and wants and they don't seem to care that they are indebting the hardworking citizens of this community for projects that often are not well thought-out or carefully planned.
A certain amount of spending on development is necessary - but it must be done prudently and judiciously. So far, that has not appeared to be the case with many of the projects this council has approved or actions it has taken.
The good people of Oshkosh have said they are fed up with the council's "business as usual" attitude and many have asked me to consider running for a Common Council seat. So, after giving it much thought and discussing it with those closest to me, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring and seek a city council position. We don't need to stop progress altogether, but we do need to turn things around so we stop the runaway spending locomotive of recent years.
In addition, there are a couple of relatively new groups in Oshkosh which are tied, directly or indirectly, to the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce. These groups are "Propel" and "Progress Oshkosh." It is already clear that members of these Chamber-sponsored organizations will be running for the Common Council and possibly even the mayoral seat. It is reasonable to assume that if these people are elected we will likely face more of the same "business as usual" approach in the city of Oshkosh. We cannot afford for this to continue and I am asking for your help in stopping the pork-barrel spending.
If you would like to get involved with my campaign by signing or circulating nomination papers for me; by making a donation to the campaign; or by getting involved in any other way, I would welcome your support. Feel free to contact me at: hosts@eyeonoshkosh.com; 426-4123; or Cheryl Hentz, PO Box 1628, Oshkosh, WI 54903-1628.
Individually we cannot bring about much change; but together we can accomplish great things and get the city back on track where there are not so many unhappy, overtaxed and frustrated residents.
I encourage you to get involved with, or at least support, candidates who most represent your own philosophies about what a local leader should be. We need your help to ensure that we don't continue putting people into office that will spend your hard-earned money without asking enough questions before doing so. Enough is enough!
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
