Letter to the Editor: Fleming For Putnam County Executive

To the Editor:

Maureen Fleming- The Right Choice for Putnam!

What Putnam County needs now, more than ever, is change. Change from the current Odell administration that supports patronage and nepotism hiring. Change to a Fleming administration that will hire only qualified individuals. Change, from the current Odell administration that supports wasteful spending, increase taxation (2% each year in the past 5 years). Change to a Fleming administration who, in her current position as Supervisor of the Town of Kent, has passed a budget each year, for the past 5 years with 0% increase in taxes for each of those years. Change from an Odell administration’s smoke and mirror budget to a Fleming budget of transparency, elimination of wasteful spending and reduction in taxes.

The time for Change is now! Maureen Fleming is an honest, hardworking, experienced administrator who cares about her community. She believes in working with others even if they have a difference of opinion, for the betterment of all Putnam County residents. Change in Putnam from a one- party rule county, to a county where everyone is included. Where residents of Putnam should not have to worry about reprisal because they do not belong to the political party of the current administration.

Change will only come about if you want to make it happen. That day of change is Election Day, Tuesday, November 6, 2018. If you're tired of being stepped on by this current administration, it’s time you step out and cast your ballot for Maureen Fleming, for Putnam County Executive, a true fiscal leader.
