We recommend they do, replacing incumbents Bruce Malcolm and Ron Sapp with new blood to invigorate our city.

The choice between Bunch and Malcolm is more difficult.

We have supported Malcolm in two bids for a city commission seat and in the vote a year ago for mayor.
But he is not our choice to lead us forward now.
Malcolm has been a great mayor.

This is for a commission seat, and Malcolm has frankly disappointed us as a commissioner.
He has accomplished little in that role, despite his campaign flyers.
Malcolm takes credit for beach renourishment and a skateboard park that were essentially decided before his term.
He even claims credit for a private initiative that restored ferry service to St. Marys, Ga.
