Today's Poll: Who should be Young Person of the Year for Genesee County?

By Howard B. Owens

Hands down, Tim Walton! He used to live across the street from me on Montclair and he is such a nice young man. Not only does he have a great entrepreneurial mindset, he is very involved in the community. What a role model he is for others!

I did something I don't normally do at this stage -- modified the poll. I thought right after the poll was posted that I modified it to add Dan Jones and Gretel Kauffman, but it didn't save right, so I resaved it -- at a point when we'd already gotten 66 votes.

Tim lived on Montclaire Avenue. I could have climed the fence from my North Lyon Street backyard to be in his hood. So, in typical voter fashion I'm for him. I think I might want a good deal on some T-Shirt printing in the near future, but that's neither here nor there. Go Tim, go!

Tim Walton definatly!! This young man is making major moves now..even when the economy is crappy. My guess for Tims future...he will become the next millionare in Genesee County.

Thanks everyone that voted and commented above-- it's thanks to everyone that has supported everyone one of us 'young' people that we can even be up there and can do the things that we try to do!

Thanks again and Happy Holidays everyone!

Definitely Tim Walton without a doubt seeing as people even in the poll are voting for him. Not only have I read about how he got to where he has but I remember reading about him donating hundreds of shirts to non-profits as well. That's someone that deserves this title.

btw...Matt, I'm pretty sure all these young people pay their taxes on time.
