Letter to the editor: Pinny Beebe-Center has earned our support

For more than a decade, I have known and worked with Pinny Beebe-Center. Throughout, I have recognized and celebrated the strong community values that direct her goals and focus her effectiveness.  She gets things done.

Pinny deserves our strongest support to continue to move our community forward, especially among the many distractions and stresses we face. 

Pinny has consistently promoted education and training to achieve economic opportunity for our citizens, effective public spending to support living decently, constructive assistance in health, living, and sustenance for those encountering difficulty, working programs in substance abuse through education, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, and environmentally responsible action to enhance and preserve our surroundings.

Pinny has worked hard and successfully in each of these areas.  Far more interested in getting things done right than in promoting herself, she shares her quiet achievement with others generously, assisting our community to grow in our effectiveness.  Even as we encounter more and more challenges, Pinny supports our ability to create opportunity from them.

Pinny Beebe-Center has earned our support.  Please join me in voting for her.
