Impassioned
Editorial
     I just read "Drive Them Out,"  your wonderful, impassioned editorial of Oct. 26. You have echoed my feelings precisely, and perhaps written them better than I could myself.

Retribution
Is No Answer
     Last week’s Herald encouraged us to "drive out" Republicans in next weeks election. But I am wondering: do we really believe that if we "drive out" one whole party, we will get something better?

Fox Can Work
With All Parties
     For the past 4-1/2 years I have had the pleasure of serving on the Bethel Select Board with Neal Fox. During this time Neal has guided the Board through many challenges as our chair, a position he reluctantly accepts when appointed annually.

A Bulldog
For the People
     In the state house, there are 180 legislators who attend. But there are not that many who make a big difference. Sen. Mark MacDonald makes a difference.

Time for Fiscal Responsibility
     The Asteroid "Apophis-Costanzo," depending on one’s astronomical and political calculus, shall, in 20 years and at a trajectory 20,000 miles distant, pass-by, with "reasonable certainty," the orbit of Earth.

MacDonald Takes
Time To Listen
     I like a legislator who listens, then acts, in that order. Senator Mark MacDonald has again spent his late summer and fall out listening to constituents. He takes what we tell him to heart.

Welch Helpful
On Rt. 114 Project
     I have had the opportunity to witness, first hand, Peter Welch's common sense approach to governance. The Town of Sharon recently completed a highway rehabilitation project on Route 132 between Sharon and Strafford.

     I'm a contractor working in Vermont's technology sector and feel, with Scudder Parker at the helm, we Vermonters have an opportunity to lead the nation with environmental legislation, energy efficiency, and renewable biological fuels.

Takes Issue With
Haas Positions
     I recently received Sandy Haas’ flier in the mail in her bid for reelection to the legislature.

Not the Year
For Rainville
     I can imagine that we could be proud of an "independent" Martha Rainville should she become the lone Vermonter in the House of Representatives. But now is not the time to send her.

To Prioritize
     Chris Hemond’s letter to the editor last week says a lot. First it indicates to me that not all is well on the Town Hall committee. Fox is not moving fast enough to satisfy those who are anxious to spend the town’s money on one single project.
