Unlike our national culture of celebrity which seems to thrive on attention-getting stridency, issue-creation, hyperbole and ‘alternative facts,’ our local town governmental process is at its best when its members are endowed with experience, civility, sobriety, and a firm grip on reality.
For this reason I support the reelection of Penny Young to the Town Council. I have known Penny for four decades and, as you, have benefitted from her commitment to our community.
She listens. She thinks. She asks questions. She “gets it.”
As the parade of issues, perennial and new, comes before our Town Council—from the promise of our youth to the stability of our seniors to the evaluation of properties owned by the town—hers is a voice that should continue to be heard.
