An open letter to all candidates: I will vote for you if you demonstrate diplomacy; if you define and debate the issue, not the people; if you work to change laws and regulations you do not support, but until you prevail, you uphold and evenly apply the laws and regulations in our borough code; if you assume that we are all in this together, no one is absolutely right, and that all residents have the best interests of the community of Haines at heart.
If you are a candidate of this caliber, you have my vote. I will be carefully reading your ads and listening to your statements. Best of luck!
