Occassionally you read stories of high-schoolers running for office. This one is rather more pro-development than I was expecting:
WEST CITY-- Like many 18-year-olds, Christopher Kays will vote for the first time during the upcoming April 5 general election. However, what will separate Kays from other first-time voters is that the very first vote he casts will be for himself....I had to read that twice....Kays was quick to answer when asked about his reasons for running and what he hopes to accomplish if elected.
"First of all, I think everybody should be concerned with what is going on in their community, their state and their country," Kays said. "But I want to see West City keep the ball rolling. We just picked up a Wal-Mart Supercenter, but I don't want West City to be known for just that. There is so much land in West City that can be developed for commercial or residential sites; we need to keep moving forward looking at that."
