Dear Editor,
As a resident of Copake, I am very pleased to observe an active political campaign in which the most obvious component is the desire of good people on both sides seeking to serve our town, and working hard to gain public support. I have written before about destruction of Democratic signs, and now Jeff Nayer has informed me that Republican signs have been taken or destroyed, as well. These acts are unfortunate, but the misguided motive may well be more aesthetic than political. I hope so.
At the same time, my positive feeling about this election stems to a significant degree from the campaign of Linda Gabaccia for Copake Town Supervisor. Linda and her opponent, Jeff Nayer, are both focused on the welfare of Copake, and both work as readily and very comfortably with members of the other party, as well as members of their own. It is Linda’s experience that makes a difference. For six years, she has been the most broadly and thoroughly informed, and the most consistently hard working, member of the Town Board. A Copake native, she is deeply concerned about the welfare of her town and is eager to support others who share her concern, whether by seeking outside grants or putting people with common interests together. She is a skilled communicator who has always sought open government. Her leadership would assure efficient, principled, and productive town government. I am pleased to support her.
Sincerely,
Clark M. Simms
