Let's solve it. Does that mayor have a name, or an e-mail address? Are mayors with you selected separately (we can not vote for a mayor).
Does the town have a local paper? I am willing to write some nice articles to shake and wake up a bit.

You can e-mail me: [email protected]

That person I wouldn't vote for either and favourites or not she should do her job and actually be proud to have a model citizen like you still fighting for his life. A bit smart person would put you in the spotlight (or your mom), make a great article, hand over a fat check, and boxes with groceries and brag her greatness and love for the citizens. Even if there's not enough she can take it out of her own pantry and brag about that. Stupid woman.
Has it been announced who the lucky ones are?
