Mayoral repeat is best alternative

Back in the day when I was writing a weekly column for the Cabot Star Herald, I gave then-Mayor Stubby Stumbaugh a lot of grief. And, even with years of hindsight, much of the criticism was richly deserved.

But, this time around, Stumbaugh, eagle tattoos and all, is the best alternative in the upcoming runoff election.

After losing a city council race, and getting his ears pinned back in a run for Congress, Stumbaugh has something to prove: He truly wants to make a name for himself in his hometown.

As most folks know who follow politics, power can be used for good or evil. Stumbaugh, who has been vilified for his bombastic nature and control-freak attitude, can change his image and do some good for Cabot.

There is no doubt he wants to be remembered for accomplishments which enhance Cabot.

With that attitude, and with the victory from a tight race as his foundation, he can be a positive change in our community.
