TRIPLE THE POINTS!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!



Read the passage. Then, respond to each item in the text box below or an uploaded document.

What should a mayor do for his city—lead the people or play a lot of golf with his pals? Mayor Flaherty promised to fix the transportation system. Still not done. He promised to build a new sports arena. Still not done. Perhaps it’s asking too much that he accomplish much as mayor. After all, he does seem to spend most of his time at the City Golf Club, entertaining business leaders. Enough is enough! Charles Digby is a far better candidate for this important office. He’s got plenty of experience: look at his tenure as Chester County Commissioner. He’s got plenty of energy, too: look at his successful drive to improve our schools. If you want to keep a dull mayor, stick with Flaherty. However, if you want to bring prosperity and honesty back into city government, vote for Digby.
