To the Editor:

I have known John Kortze for over nine years as a friend and neighbor, and I would like to endorse him for the Board of Finance once again. I believe John has Newtown’s best interest in mind when he makes decisions about how to spend our hard-earned tax monies.

I think he is very approachable and will spend the time to explain to anyone his rationale for making the very difficult budget decisions. John has the experience and the knowledge base to continue on the board and I believe John is the reason it continues to be “Nicer in Newtown.”
