Writer opposes Ott for Surfside Beach Town Council
Surfside Beach Town Council candidate Ron Ott bases his candidacy on credibility and honesty. In a recent variance request, he lost all credibility with me when he chose to ignore a discrepancy in the ordinance he voted against. As chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, he intimidated committee members to vote the way he wanted them to vote.
Honest? Only if it serves his personal objectives.
During the upcoming runoff election for council, Surfside Beach has a chance for real, progressive community growth. Let’s eliminate manipulative representatives and allow leaders to accomplish things Surfside Beach was destined to accomplish. Ron Ott is not the type of representative I want to see as my councilman. I want a councilman who is respectful, progressive, fair, will stand up for citizens and businesses, know what’s wrong, and fight for what’s right.
