Wow! There sure are a lot of controversial issues raised by other Orleans County towns related to their upcoming elections. Call me glad to be a resident of Kendall!

There are three candidates running for two spots on the Kendall Town Board. I strongly support the re-election of two current members, Barb Flow and Margaret (Lynn) Szozda!

Both have been Kendall residents for over 37 years, and both play a very active, considerate, and professional role on Town Board matters and are protective of both individual and community concerns and issues.

Their concerns are driven principally by two factors, costs to residents and what’s best for the community as a whole. They are important cogs in what I see as an extremely well-functioning, innovative, hardworking, and, most important of all, a successfully-operating Town Board. Losing either Barb or Lynn on the board would be a great loss!

I have found the Town Board, Planning Board, and Assessor’s Office to always be responsive to concerns or questions I have raised, and always willing to call me back and/or sit down and discuss any issues. There is no lack of transparency on the part of town officials, and Barb and Lynn will continue this tradition.

As for the need for “change,” I would say why in the world would we want to tamper with success! Let’s return these ladies to the board, as a measure of our thanks for their fine participation in the past and our confidence they will continue their excellent work.

Please take the time to vote, for Barb Flow and Margaret Szozda at the Town Hall on Tuesday. We owe them at least that much!
