Why you should vote for Dan Matthews for Watkinsville City Council
I am running for the Watkinsville City Council because I want to see our municipal licensing process become more business friendly. My opponent has voted against every restaurant and convenience store applicant trying to receive a beer or wine license from the City Council, without justification or explanation.
I know restaurants in Watkinsville have tremendously improved our quality of life. I will give every business that comes before the City Council the proper consideration and assessment of the application itself instead of trying to force my morality or religious views one way or the other on the residents and business owners of Watkinsville (which is apparently the case with my opponent currently).
I want to continue the carefully crafted policy enacted by former Mayor Jim Luken along with the Council members some eight years ago. We have had changes in two of the council members since then, and I know the City can handle one more. There have not been a substantial increase in the number of DUIs or other crime attributable to the beer and wine policy, and Watkinsville Police Chief Lee O'Dillon himself will back that up.
I would like to see more sidewalks and jogging trails, bike paths and bike lanes, and safe places for our residents to walk, run, or pedal. I fully support the expansion of the city parks like Watkinsville Woods and worked on it this past Saturday. I also think that creative pocket parks like the Patriot Park in front of Jittery Joe's and the park for John McNally off Colham Ferry Road are fantastic.
Please vote for me Dan Matthews Tuesday, November 4th or this week during the last days of advance voting at the Oconee County Board of Elections office at 10 Court Street or at the Civic Center 8:00 am to 5:00 pm through Halloween.
If you have any questions or need a ride to the polls, you may certainly call me on the telephone at 706-372-1062. Thank you very much for your consideration, and I love Watkinsville.
