Campaign Promises Fulfilled

As we go into an election this June and November, there is always a common theme.

How can the candidate improve the lives of their constituents?

We see the mailers, we hear the speeches, we read their statements.

And we, the voters, hope and hope that the candidates can come through with their campaign promises to improve our lives during their terms.

Well, to all the prospective candidates and current office holders, take note of this article:

"Older Chileans given free Viagra"

"A Chilean mayor is to hand out free potency pills to older people in his municipality near the capital Santiago.

Mayor Gonzalo Navarette Munoz says he wants to improve their quality of life by giving them free access to Viagra.

He will give men aged 60 or over in the working-class suburb of Lo Prado the chance to get their potency pills courtesy of the taxpayer."

Yes, I know, this is a Government/Taxpayer subsidy, and in concept, I am completely against this, but...

This Mayor is really doing something to improve the lives of his constituents.

This isn't fixing a pothole, easing traffic, or annexing a piece of property surrounded by Costa Mesa.

This is something real. Something tangible. Something measurable (sorry...couldn't resist that one.)

With the high % of over-60 male voters in Newport Beach, this also could be something to consider in November...
