This will be an interesting race, if it does indeed come down to incumbent Gary Wilson versus City Commissioner Patrick McDonald.
It's kind of the rural guy (Wilson) versus the city guy (McDonald) although it's never that simple. I can tell you the main point of division goes back to that 2007 argument over tax increment financing for big box retail store (Lowes). McDonald was one of its biggest cheerleaders, while Wilson is dead set against such tax incentives for retail.
There has been a lot of water under that bridge since, but the division lingers in Ark City. And imagine if it came up again before the election ...

Well actually that was in 2008. Why are you stirring up the pot about the Tiff? Looks like you are trying to push McDonald and kill off Wilson. Shame on you!
