Ethan Parkhurst response to residency issues (This letter has not been changed from the Original email sent from the Parhurst Committee)

Boy oh boy have we got a mess here. Throughout this game of resident or no resident, we have finally debunked the ultimate question. “Is Ethan Parkhurst an actual resident of Fulton?” the answer is yes! In am a resident. I live at 511 State Street. So before we go making the water muddy let’s focus on getting the facts together in the future BEFORE publishing false information. This is just another example of the miscommunication the departments have in the city as of now. What we need to be focused on are the issues at hand. One of which is the communication between departments. Had the mayor known I was a resident before his announcement that “I am not one”, he would most likely not made such claims. Although the current mayor has decided not to run again we should all consider the effort put forth by him to keep the city afloat. He has paved the road for me to become mayor and succeed for all of Fulton. Not as a republican, democrat, conservative or any party for that matter, but as a person and a tax paying citizen. My plans are simple. Listen to the people and serve them to the best of my abilities. I will not stop running for mayor until November when we realize the people want their voices heard and I’m elected! As for my opponents I wish them all the best and truly hope for the people’s sake we all have them in mind. Because at the end of the day; it’s their voices that matter. We can’t go into office and raise taxes and expect people to want to live here. We can’t go into office and not put forth programs for kids and teenagers and expect them to stay off of drugs. We can’t go into office and do nothing but slowly keep making small improvements and expect the people to realize. We have to go into office, whoever wins the election, and listen to the people and hold more public hearings. My convention center idea is perfect. Let’s face the music here. There isn’t a big business that is going to come back to Fulton. The mayor himself will tell you the taxes are too high and the power is 40% more in this area. The year round convention center will be privately funded and cost the tax payers zero to build. It will allow us to employ thousands of people for decades. Events such as “comicon” and”starwars”conventions bring millions in attendance. Allowing local businesses to flourish like never before during the events. We’ll allow local businesses and citizens to buy stock in the event center first allowing them to profit first and our city to profit first. Once we break ground the hotels will come to build, the restaurants will come and we will be living the happy life of a city with pride again! We will line the top with solar panels and every other city owned building to power our city electric bill. A savings of roughly $370,000 annually. That money will go towards grant writers to seek out grants our city could be receiving. We don’t have grant writers!! We need them!! We should have had our roads paved by now! Our parks kept up on! The sidewalks fixed! Things for the kids to do, and a more senior citizen friendly city. We can have all of this. We need to realize who we are electing and who will actually stick to their guns. Don’t count me out yet. I’m still very much in this race and I will continue to fight for the people at all costs. No matter the lashings I take along the way. Together we will prosper! I look forward to meeting everyone and working with everyone to make for a great living situation. Feel free to contact me at anytime via email at [email protected]. thank you very much
