After great and considered reflection, our good friend and blogger Zev Cywan has decided not to pursue a Council seat in our upcoming election.
We're sure there are many citizens that will be disappointed by this announcement, but Zev felt if he couldn't give 100% to the position,it would be best to not compromise his values.
In addition to thanking all his supporters, Zev wanted us to know that he will continue to be a voice for the people of Oro Valley.
Certainly, we look forward to his continued participation in adding so much to our blog.
Following is Zev's message to all.
Please be advised that after having very carefully considered my options from many perspectives,and also having conferred with others who have offered or affirmed same, I have elected to withdraw absolutely from pursuing a seat on Town Council. I have concluded that such position was not what I had wanted for my retirement years nor could I expect that at my age, the standards for my now reasonably decent health would not possibly deteriorate during such a term and thus impinge on my ability to pursue the recreation and freedoms I want for my today and my tomorrows. In short, it must be 'ME' that precludes all else. I want to thank all of you who have (had) expressed their confidence that I could be an asset to the community by serving on Council; I assure you that I will not 'go away' and that I will continue to be a voice for the People of Oro Valley by offering my input and/or services within other capacities.
Zev
