I will not vote for anyone who voted to hand over our beach to an out of town developer for God knows how long...ruin our dune across from Benny's by building a humongous building there and make things so unaffordable that no one will be able to go to the beach for the entire beach experience. Also, if you think that I would vote for anyone who came out against the Supermajority, or went on that radio show and talked against issues for which I am committed, you are sadly mistaken. Right now we don't have any candidates to consider in Dist 4.

I don't know anything about Barbara Aubel but all I know is Vespo is not the one. Maybe after I get to hear her speak I will change my vote.
