WOULD YOU VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE?

The Kodiak Island Borough Election Pamphlet arrived in today’s mail. The Kodiak Perspective is disappointed that there are no candidates from the villages.

Scott Arndt is running for three posts: School Board, Fire Protection Area #1 Board, and Service Area #1 Board.. A quick check of Borough Delinquent Tax Rolls shows Mr Arndt in arrears for three years, owing $2,617.09.

Also running for School Board is Peggy Rauwolf, who lists her spouse as John. The Delinquent Tax Rolls list a John, and John F. Rauwolf as being in arrears. The Perspective is unable to verify that either is the husband listed, but Rauwolf is not a common name here in Kodiak, so it is suspected that she may be owing (assuming that a families finances are co-mingled).

“I don’t pay my taxes, but vote for me anyway”

Yeah right! If you are not responsible for your own affairs, why should you be trusted with a public position?

If you are seeking information about the Borough, like what exactly is a “Service Area”, don’t use the site listed in the pamphlet on the last page, it is wrong, The Borough has a new web address.

The Kodiak Perspective encourages everyone eligible to familiarize yourself with the candidates and the issues, and to vote on October 2.
