To the editor:
I support Ron Ponziani for the office of Harpswell road commissioner. I’ve known him for nearly 60 years.
Ronnie is a caring and honest person that gets along with everyone, regardless of their station in life. He’s spent his life in Harpswell and when we were no more than 16, I recall him in the back of Arnie Lemay’s dump truck, shoveling by hand to sand the roads.
He’s one of the dozen or so men in town who knows our roads in that different way needed to get it sanded where it weeps or plowed where it drifts. Those guys know that all roads are not the same, nor are all storms.
Whether it’s the icy patches on Judkins’ Corner, or the treacherous crowning near Dick Gallagher’s hill, Ponzi can say “Been there, done that.” As a contractor, he knows about road maintenance.
We need a road commissioner who knows Harpswell. We need Ponziani.
Jim Knight,
Harpswell
