As a current town councilor I would like to see positive change on the Council so that all councilors start from a level playing field when discussing the issues before us on behalf of the community.

All too often, deals have been made, discussions held and the full Council has not been made totally aware of the components about issues. Healthy debate is what the public needs to hear so that that they know we are asking the questions that they would like to be answered and providing the information so that they understand the issues. I feel that Karen D’Andrea and Leory Crockett will represent the citizens of Scarborough well and that they have no alliances that would tend to sway or dictate their vote in one direction or another.

Councilors need to do their own homework about issues and ask questions of the town manager and the staff that provides them with the information they need to make an informed decision, not just following the leader of the majority’s opinion. Karen and Leroy have taken stands on the current pressing issues and do not hide behind the “I am studiing the issues line.”

So I urge you the citizen to make an informed decision and choose these two candidates, who will make a difference and bring order back to the Council table.
