Editor,

I believe that the City Council needs new blood and a new direction. What we have been getting is a leadership that only knows how to chase poverty and suffering. I don’t want that. I want money, prosperity and a better life for my children and grandchildren.

I know we need new blood on the city council. I believe that Ricky Sykes is the type of man who can help us get the positive changes we want. He can build bridges between people, and help lead us to success because he is a stable and mature businessman. As for the City Council, he doesn’t belong to any clique or alliance, so he will be able to work with everyone without worrying about past hurt feelings or past competition for control.

I suggest that everyone in Ward 5 strongly consider voting for Ricky Sykes. He is the type of new blood that can bring peace to the city council and good jobs to Franklin.
