With the election for mayor of New Hamburg set for next Tuesday, both candidates are busy making their final arguments to voters. The most recent polls show neither candidate with a clear lead. The offi cial New Hamburg Area Political Poll reported that 48.1% of voters surveyed will vote for Janet Fetters, while 47.5% will choose Rodney Grunau. The difference between these figures is within the poll's margin of error. This campaign has focused primarily on the issue of taxes. "Janet Fetters is what this town needs right now," said Charles Hodges, a New Hamburg small-business owner. "She's going to lower sales taxes, and that's going to help local businesses like mine compete with the large corporations [that are opening stores in the area]." Supporters of Grunau, on the other hand, say that social programs are more important than lower taxes. According to town resident Lisa Gutierrez, "Something needs to be done about the homeless problem in New Hamburg. We have to work together, with the help of our local government, to make sure every citizen of this town has a place to live. And lowering taxes isn't the way to do that."
With the numbers this close, the candidates' activities in the next few days will be very important. Both have scheduled large public speeches over the weekend.
