This issue in the flyers is on the web site in the news section. The incumbent voted to spend $30,000 extra tax payer $ to get less done.
The 10,000 flyers go out 2 weeks from today.
More on this later.

Steve Dawes, Socialist candidate for Bellevue City Council in the 1st Ward (Olde Town), with a disquieting fetish for high-school girls bouncing around in shorts, is literally clueless.
The Council voted against spending $200,000 of Bellevue taxpayer money to subsidize the buyout of out-of-town properties damaged in last year's flooding. The local paper estimated the cost of buying the property at "up to $230,000", which Steve stupidly interpreted as a $30,000 cost to the City, instead of being a $200,000 loss.
Never mind that the city would assume responsibility for cleanup and maintenance of property in a flood-prone area, outside the city limits. The City has no financial obligation toward the out-of-town property owners; none whatsoever. Steve, spending one red cent of your neighbors' money on that property would have been fiscal malfeasance. The proper venue for such a subsidy would be the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners, who apparently didn't think buying flooded homes and yards to be a good investment, either.
So, Steve, do tell: Since the present City Council showed great fiscal restraint by not buying your pig in a poke, why do you think that is the issue that will sweep you into office?
