(Terell Wilkins | Desert Valley Times) – As time winds down before next month’s election, candidates for Mesquite City Council are sharpening their final points.
The Mesquite Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday held its monthly luncheon, which doubled as a forum where candidates could voice their opinions on city issues.
Six candidates are vying for three spots on the city council: Sandra Ramaker and incumbent Geno Withelder for Seat 1; George Gault and incumbent David Ballweg for Seat 3; and Annie Black and Karen Fielding for Seat 4. …
Black and Fielding were asked about where they see Mesquite in five years and their plans to get there.
Black outlined a five-step plan to help Mesquite attain the vision she has for it.
“We need to figure out who we are and who we aren’t, build an updated and modern brand around that and then set a plan and start actively pursuing companies we want to have here in Mesquite,” Black said. “I would like to make Mesquite more business-friendly by simplifying our rules, regulations and red tape and by cleaning this up to make Mesquite the most business-friendly city that developers have ever heard of.”
