Dear Agnes,
   I am a Duncanville resident and I do realize this is the voting season and all. But I was wondering, do the larger signs really get the candidates more votes? For instance, I see some of Mayor Green's signs and they are very large, I was just wondering .

Letter to Editor - Ben Franklin Clock Tower - Political Handouts
    Ben Franklin Apothecary's clock tower was recently used in a political flier from the "Citizens for Truth in Duncanville". Our store and staff recognizes the importance of community involvement and participating in our local elections. The service of these individuals in the City Council and on the School Board are vitally important to the success of our wonderful community. However, we did not give permission for our clock tower to be used in any political campaign and we do not support the content conveyed in the publication. As noted in Ben Franklin Apothecary's "Policies & Procedure Manual", the following is not allowed on the store premises: solicitation of political pamphlets, campaign rallies and meetings, and using Ben Franklin Apothecary in any political propaganda or handouts.

   On Monday evening, the city council of Duncanville voted to hire a new city manager, Daniel O’Leary of Keller , Texas .
    When contacted by the Suburban, Daniel O’Leary stated “I am honored that the Council has chosen me as their next City Manager. I look forward to the challenges of managing a premier Texas city like Duncanville. I promise the citizens of Duncanville that I will work hard to earn this honor bestowed me."
    O’Leary has an extensive background in city government. He has been the city manager for Keller since 2008. Prior to being the city manager of Keller, O’Leary was employed by the city of San Marcos, Texas .

   You may have received a “voter’s guide” from a political action committee named Citizens For Truth in Duncanville. The group claims to be local community leaders who have fully vetted each of the candidates in this upcoming Duncanville city council election.
