“Though I’m not a 5th Ward resident, Bill has always been available to help me.”

"I have know Dr. Bill Lynn since I was first elected to the Davenport City Council. I worked with him at St. Ambrose when I was teaching Economic and Contracting Courses. I have found that he has a insight into business and government that few of his peers possess.

It is interesting to note that many of his detractors distort many facts when they attack him. It is hard for me to believe that a man who worked on a project that was contracted for by Mr. Allen of MICROSOFT, went against the then thinking about energy, and provided input based upon his analysis of what he believed was sound economic analysis. Guess what? He was right and so many others were wrong. He gave a good insight as to where the energy market was headed long before others arrived at his conclusion.

He has proven to me that he understand economic development. DavenportOne, City of Davenport and others should utilize his great mind for the benefit of the City of Davenport. It is this strength that we need to maintain on the team at city hall. The loss of this educated economist would be a voter's blunder.

Why do we continue to hire outside consultants? We have a great consultant who is already on the payroll as an Alderman. The maximizing of his use would save ten times plus his annual income from the city? I questions the zeal for outside consultants during the ten years I served on the Davenport City Council. I saw three different views of how to stimulate downtown development. We did not follow thru on any of them. We also rushed into what we have as a loosely arranged downtown development. The Life Cycle cost of what we have down will eat away at tax dollars for the next 16 to 20 years and will in the long run exceed the capital investment."

He deserves a third term because he’s analytical, articulate, and is like a good compass or scout who keeps Davenport on a steady but affordable growth path of reducing crime and taxes, adding jobs, and improving city services.”
