Do you think Mayor Saffo has been effective during his time as mayor?

What everyone should be doing is looking at the overall picture. We live in one of the greatest places on this planet. Despite any communities' "issues" ... & those complaining about said issues- Bill Saffo ALONE is NOT responsible for every decision, vote and movement going on in Wilmington. I believe Bill Saffo is a GREAT representative for this City. He has done nothing but encourage citizens to become involved and share in all of these "opportunities". Just because He, or anyone else, has to pick sides with an already exsisting entity (perceived as good or bad)does not mean he/they created the entity themselves. No one is EVER going to make everyone happy all the time. So please stop finding fault and start finding ways to be constructive. Are you helping row the boat or just telling someone else "how to do it" from the sidelines??? Get involved. Be proud of Mr. Saffo for his efforts (as well as countless others) for trying to make a difference in our community and our future. Look at individuals for themselves and not attach the dissapointments from others onto all Public Officials. It's a 24/7/365 job that does not sleep. Being informed + being involved = a great contributor to Wilmington, my home!

Bill Saffo has great potential as Mayor of
Wilmington. The major issues he is facing
did not transpire overnight so they certainly will not be fixed overnight but whatever the problem is he actually listens to what people have to say and wants to find a good solution for everyone involved. I will definitely vote for him in the next election.

Is it a coincidence or am I being conspiritorial in thinking your poll on the retention of Saffo was kept open until it reached 51% for re-election?.........

Show me one thing Saffo has done worthy of all this praise. It is all a rubber stamp. He is a puppet.

Sid Causey for Mayor!

Bill Saffo is a hard-working young man and has done a good job filling the unexpired term of Mayor Spence Braodhurst. He deserves to be elected as Mayor of the City of Wilmington.

A life-long resident of our area, he attended New Hanover County Public Schools and graduated from UNCW. He's lived here, gone to school here, worked here and loves Wilmington.

I have known Bill Saffo for over 45 years. I will vote for him for Mayor and I encourage you to do the same!

Billy Saffo is one of the hardest working mayors we've had. He's done an excellent job of continuing many of the initiatives started by Spence Broadhurst. He supports every community event and represents our city with pride.

He gets things done instead of complaining about what is wrong in our town. HIs excellent long term vision for our city is to be applauded.

1. Billy Saffo inherited the sewer mess. He did not cause it. He was hardly sworn in when he was confronted with the emergency. He is working day and night to fix it. If you want to 'git er done', he's the right man in the right place and at the right time to do it--he has the relationships with key officals in the Federal/State/Local levels, the know-how, respect, energy, and most importantly, the desire, love for the City and "fire in the belly" to fix this acute problem that has no simple, cheap overnight solution.
2. Billy is responsive. I hear over and over that when folks call, he calls back. He has a good heart.
3. Billy wants folks to get involved. He's pumped about the City and wants everyone to pitch in.

Bill Saffo works day and night for Wilmington. He has vision and personality. We are lucky to have him.

From what we have seen so far Saffo will only cater to the development community. When citizens benefit then it's only as a coincidence. From the pushing of the convention center to developments within the city and working with developers, he has shown where his loyalties lie, money.

If he is so concerned with the average citizen then why under his leadership taxes are going up when so much wasteful spending keeps going on. There have been several major points made online here in this forum, but the forum host chooses to edit out unfavorable comments.

Then elect Bill Saffo.

Bill Saffo represents the best interests of all citizens of Wilmington. His leadership has aptly futhered long term goals initiated by Spence Broadhurst. Keep Wilmington going in the right direction.....Keep Saffo as Mayor!

I emailed city council once to suggest that the city plant more trees in the street medians.

I got a voicemail from Saffo himself the next day giving me information about how I could get involved with the city beautification committee. He asked me to call him personally if I had any other questions.

I don't know many other mayors that would do that.

I think we need to have someone who is not scared to make a dission against the special intrest group. I would like to see Don Ragavage run for mayor, at least he would put the intrest of the citizens first and not his pockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
