Frank thoughts on the election
Commentary by Frank Schroth
First, MyTownMatters does not endorse candidates (what do think we are? nuts?). But we take this time of year seriously and believe it matters . . .a lot. This is a gentle reminder to take a few moments to inform yourself on who is running and what they stand for. The town is fortunate to have candidates willing to spend their time, money, and energy for an opportunity to serve the town. You have a responsibility here, too.
