Opinion: Heath Selectboard candidates

Heath Selectboard candidates

​Heath is lucky to have two candidates for Selectboard who have chosen to run positive campaigns, Sue Lively and Karen Brooks. The campaigns have been respectful, focusing on what is important to each for the long-term quality of life and fiscal future of the town.
Unfortunately, no candidate can control the negative narratives intended to bias the electorate. One such narrative is that one candidate would be a “yes, man.”
Anyone, like myself, who knows both Karen and Sue, can state with assurance that this is not true of either one. These are two independent thinkers who are not afraid to speak their minds and to vote their conscience.
I hope we can follow their positive example and avoid buying into negative characterizations. Thank you.
