Letters Of Endorsement

To the Editor:

It is with great pleasure that I endorse Ben Roberts, IPN’s candidate for Newtown’s Board of Finance. In the two years that I have known Ben, I have come to realize that he is extremely bright and has a highly-evolved sense of and commitment to social justice, the green movement, sustainability and community.

I trust Ben — as someone who will oversee and review town budgets once on the Board of Finance — to have our best interests in mind and employ smart, forward-thinking, progressive ideas that serve our community well, now and into the future.

I also think Ben is adept at facilitating dialogue, debate, and discussion. As the leader of a weekly discussion salon at Mocha Coffeehouse for about a year, Ben has been doing just that. Between Ben’s intelligence, many years of experience as a financial advisor and businessman, coupled with his deep concern for our community, Ben gets my vote. Please join me in voting for Ben Roberts, IPN candidate for Board of Finance.
