After winning his first term in , Davis had vowed to serve only one term. Ruiz was the first of the candidates to jump into the more controversial aspects of the upcoming race, which are sure to become the focal points.
Both Larkey and Davidson have expressed their positions on issues such as infrastructure, water rates and economic development. Davis has not jumped into the fray yet.
The citizens need to be listened to. Belton leadership needs to learn how to listen and not get on the defensive when discussions get a little more heated.
Davidson has not expressed an opinion publicly on Barton, but has generally supported her as a councilmember — including her decision to fire Larkey. As the longtime president of the semi-public Belton Council for Economic Development, Davis led a charge to dissolve the organization within his first month in office, bringing the economic development function in-house and participating actively in it personally.
Meanwhile, new candidates continue to file for council positions in what has proven to be the most active election season in years for the Belton Council, a group which has been under fire for several years, culminating with a citizen initiative state audit, which is beginning this month. In Ward 1, Tom MacPherson, a Davis appointee to the council who was defeated in the most recent election before being named by the mayor to the Planning Commission, will now be challenged by Perry Gough, who served on the council nearly a decade ago.
