Seguin Quotes: April 24 - 25

So begins a series of posts which will become the core of my campaign for Ward 1 councillor for Seguin Township. I've scrapped my idea for doing a boring ten question survey. First I have to listen to people speak about their life in Seguin.

The 'Seguin Quotes' series reveals the considered thoughts and beliefs of the people of Ward 1.

The question: "What's the one thing you would change about Seguin Township?"
