I
will be voting for Dick Walls for Town Council. He
has great 'people skills' and is a successful team
builder. Dick has had considerable experience in building
and leading teams, not only in his career but also
in his church, where he served on both the Finance
Committee and the Building Committee. He has experience
in financial management, and he supports a sound fiscal
policy for our town government.
Dick is a very good listener, interested in hearing
all points of view. He will be fair and balanced,
consider all the information at hand, and not come
in with a lot of preconceptions. One thing I particularly
like is his promise to "focus on the issues and
leave personalities behind."
Sounds like a good plan.
He has my vote.

Dick
Walls is a candidate for Gray Town Council. I have
known him for a number of years. He is a very conscientious
and honest person. He is a man that studies the facts
and carefully considers alternatives before committing
to an action plan. Dick takes great joy in seeing
others succeed and is willing to work hard and long
to create a win -win outcome. Dick Walls will be a
strong advocate for the citizens of Gray. He will
get my vote and I encourage you to vote for Dick Walls
for Gray Town Council.

I
wanted to thank you most sincerely for this blog entry.
[The Monument blog, www.monumentnews.blogspot.com,
Sunday, May 14, 2006, "The two faces of Bill
Dale"] This is a wonderful analysis.
As one of the founding members of the Kennebunk Taxpayers
Association, I was disappointed (but not surprised)
by Mr. Dale's findings on this issue in Kennebunk
[on voting for the municipal budget through referendum
ballot at the polls], and by our board's decision
to deny the voters the right to make the choice for
themselves.
It would seem that the Gray council cares more about
the rights of the voters than they do about keeping
control of the budget voting process, unlike the majority
of the Kennebunk selectmen.
Thank you for posting this, and thank you for not
being afraid to speak the truth.
Very
truly yours,
Naran Row-Spaulding, Kennebunk
