Honorary Mayor's Debate Scheduled

By Mary Thomas
Burney Chamber of Commerce
Seriously, the candidates for the position of Burney’s Honorary Mayor will be having a debate on Saturday, June 1, 4:00 p.m. at the Lions Hall in Burney.

But honestly, I wouldn’t take much of anything they said too seriously. The questions might be real but I doubt any of the answers will be.

The Mayor campaign is all in fun, except that, seriously, the candidates are raising funds for their favorite charities and for the Burney Chamber of Commerce.

This may be the one time when someone can seriously say, “Vote early and vote often, each dollar you spend buying a vote will count as vote for your candidate.”

Who are your candidate? In no particular order, their names, affiliations and who they are raising money for:

Ray Guerrero, Principal, Burney Jr./Sr. High School, Christmas Tree Land and Burney High School

Corey Yake, Associate Pastor, Word of Life Assembly, Burney Stuff the Bus Food Drive

Bill Shannon, Community Center, Potter’s Hand and Hospice

Dusty Howard, Hovis Hardware, Burney High School Athletic Department

Katie Small, Rex Club, Dylan Matwijiw Scholarship Fund

Brooke Taylor, Tri Counties Bank, Tyler Roads Memorial Scholarship Program

Dr. David Young, Chiropractic Center, Burney High School Football Program

See you on Saturday, June 1 for a campaign debate unlike any you’ve ever seen - Seriously!!
