Petitions started circulating over the weekend in Summerville in an effort to give voters a choice for State Senate in November.

The effort is to put the name of Bill Collins, the former editor/publisher/owner of the Summerville Journal Scene, on the ballot.

“I’ve had an enthusiastic group of supporters helping me collect the signatures and we’ve been met with tremendous success so far,” Collins said.

“I would like to offer the voters another choice in this election. I feel with my strong ties to the community, my passion for the issues and my history of representing the views of this community, I can be a tremendous asset in the Senate.”

Collins says his approach to government is simple: “Government needs to be big enough to do the job, but not too big for its britches.”

Mr. Collins is a smart man.  Government is indeed too big these days.  I am happy with Rose’s victory over Scott and think he is a good candidate, but I welcome Mr. Collins’ candidacy just the same.  He is correct.  People should have a choice in every election.
