“H. Lee Willis Files in Race for 26th Ward Alderman”
December 8, 2006 – St. Louis, MO:
H. Lee Willis, raised in St. Louis’ 26th Ward, has entered the race to serve as that ward’s next alderman. Willis has a long history of service in the ward. He is a co-chair of the Concerned Citizens’ United Neighborhood Association, a consultant for the Father Support Council, and the founder of “Elder Care Services,” a group that brings personal care services to the homes of the elderly.
The race will focus on the future of the 26th Ward, one of the more diverse wards in St. Louis’ West End. Willis hopes to reach out to all residents of the ward through an aggressive door-to-door campaign, “Our residents want the basics, like help with home repair, accessible and responsive leadership, and a beautiful, safe neighborhood in which to live. I pledge to make myself available to every voter throughout the course of this campaign in order to share my goals for the 26th Ward,” said Willis.
The primary election is March 6. For further information, contact David Zucker at dave.zucker@gmail.com or (508) 654-1027.
If every alderman tried to provide home repair services to their constituents, the city budget would be broke.
The city has tried time and again to provide home repair giveaway programs, only to have benefitted citizens show up and complain on "You Paid For It!".
Good thing some city leaders are finally telling the truth-these low income old folks need to move on and turn these raggedy houses over to a rehabber.
On the other hand, promising grant money is a good way to line up votes!
How's that for visionary leadership in the Board of Aldermen!
