To the Editor:
With the midterm elections rapidly upon us, I would be remiss not to mention my good friend and neighbor John Cook, and I say this for several reasons.
The first being the time he has personally sacrificed away from his sizable family; time neither he nor his family will ever get back. He has however persevered and accomplished great things for his family and mine. His initiatives in speed control throughout our neighborhood (yellow sign "You live here. We live here.") have peppered our district …. in fact I have one on my front lawn.
He also had the courage to start the Neighborhood College training for his district, and opening it later to others who wanted to partake in the training. Okay some might say; "but he’s a Republican." I couldn't argue that, the question is do you want the best person on the job, in the operating room, in the classroom, in the courtroom, or do we base this on politics? I personally prefer the A-team.
Is he perfect? I can say no, and for that matter who is; I know I am not.
