Dear Whit,

Thank you for your brave and clearly expressed editorial in the October issue of Jacksonville Review. I think you contribute in a positive way to the discussion of what constitutes good government and what preparation is needed to serve within our town’s government. I found your evaluation of individual candidates to be persuasive and consistent with your stated criteria for an effective council member.

I also realize that your conclusions come from years of constant active observing and reporting of council meetings and citizen participation. So, I know you haven’t come to your conclusions through whim or fanciful thinking.

Sincerely,
Ed Gosselin
