What Does Evans Need?
#7 → EXPAND COMMUNITY EVENTS
How Does The Town Improve Recreational Opportunities?
Item #7 is another example of how both parties talk in generalities and offer no plan of action.
Before 1985, an appointment to the Recreation Advisory Board was a big feather in your cap. The rec board ran programs and oversaw youth groups without any interference from the town board. If the 2023 candidates are serious about improving recreational opportunities in the Town of Evans, the solution is simple, stop micromanaging the rec board and give them a budget to run programs.
Waterfront Development & Tourism
Maybe Paying Engineers & Lawyers Less & Actually Do Something?
The Town of Evans suffers from the “study it to death syndrome“. Maybe it is time to spend the taxpayer’s money equipment & programs?
When was the last time a park near your home had a new piece of playground equipment installed? Lake Erie Beach Park got two new pieces since 1994! It’s time for the new town board to start doing better.
Maybe Focusing On Tourism and the Sturgeon Point Marina?
Fishing tournaments bring a ton of money into a town. If town officials spend as much time on promoting events at the marina as they do justifying closing the marina, maybe tourism in Evans would improve. Why not bring in food trucks and other vendors? Maybe a few bands? The Sturgeon Point Marina should be a town jewel and not an afterthought.

QUOTES
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
THE TRUTH
Truth is the most precious thing. That's why we should ration it.
HONESTY vs HYPOCRISY
Honesty in politics is the result of strength; hypocrisy is the result of weakness.
GOOD INTENTIONS
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
POLITICAL POWER
Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another.
GOVERNMENT’S VOICE
Government hears only its own voice … It knows it hears only its own voice and yet it deceives itself that it hears the people’s voice.
THE GOAL OF MARXISM
Marxism is not about free speech and debate, it is about domination, repression, indoctrination, conformity, and compliance.
DANGEROUS DECISIONS
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Leadership
Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.
