LETTER: Support Administrator Booan, Engineer Dunn

3-12-10

To the Editor:
Fortunately, we have been given the choice for mayor in the March 16 village election.
Joe Booan will be an excellent mayor because what everyone needs and wants is financial responsibility and accountability.  Joe will provide both.
It is also fortunate that both Joe Booan and Alton Dunn have some engineering experience which the village lacks.  Currently, the DPW acts as the engineering “expert.” 
We will definitely need their expertise in the near future to guide the village board on infrastructure repairs.
These are difficult times that require down-to-each common-sense decisions.  I feel that Joe Booan, Alton Dunn, Doug Walker and Michael Molloy for justice represent the values that made Cooperstown a wonderful, safe and affordable place to live.
As for the criticism that Joe will not be able to dedicate enough time because of his job, I thought it was the quality of time spent and not the quantity that was most important.
