To The Editor:

My interest in local politics was only a casual one until a few years ago when my wife and I started a family. As the parents of young children, we quickly realized that we had more of a vested interest in following local politics, and soon realized that while The Bee is full of reams of articles about various town committee meetings and such, very little is actually achieved on the political stage with the key issues affecting our town’s future.

It is, therefore, a breath of fresh air to see Bruce Walczak and Bill Furrier put their hats in the ring under the IPN banner; while these two gentleman have opposing political views, their desire and love of the town is second to none. Equally importantly, they have an absolute understanding of the system and what it takes to get things done, something the incumbent(s) in my opinion have failed to do. 

Vote IPN next Tuesday if you favor substance and change over posture and more rhetoric.

Best Regards,
