I tried to create a recycling program and found it would cost the town thousands of dollars a year to start one, so I backed away from it. I thought it would be a cost savings, when, in fact, it wasn't.

It's simply not true. I've always listen politely when someone has a problem. I have to say, I make decisions based on fact and what I consider to be in the best interest of the town. If some people take exception to it, that's too bad. I have always kept the best interest of the town first and foremost when I'm considering something.

I voted like I did because we've had a three-year working relationship with Gray Bros.. They do our cemetery maintenance and I'm satisfied with their responsiveness. And the quality of their work is outstanding.

We are pleased to be part of this campaign as while people are good at recycling their green glass, we know that the recycling of brown and clear glass is less common and we need to make our residents more aware of this, and why it is important.

Tomorrow our paper will be in the recycling bin or worse. These people will still be mourning their dead. And that lasts a lot longer than tomorrow's paper.

You can argue we can get rid of recycling and save the city a million dollars, but why don't we try to get rid of the garbage and save the city even more money?
