Letter: Support for Wilson in council race

Support for Wilson

I am writing to share my thoughts about why I am voting to re-elect Steve Wilson for the Farmington City Council. Steve is someone who truly works for the greater good of Farmington. He bases his decisions on rational thinking fused with empathy, tenacity and forward thinking of what a livable community is all about.

Right now the city is in a quandary about how to balance a budget that appears to be getting harder to balance because of the economy and the council’s desire to keep any tax increase for residents as low as possible. To balance the budget Steve and other council members are faced with making a hard choice of possibly eliminating positions, and a tough choice that is.

As a former employee of the city of Farmington I can attest to Steve’s sound financial decisions, his willingness to ask pertinent questions and his strength to make the necessary decisions for the greater good of all Farmington residents.

I know Steve is the person to do the job and make the tough decisions. He will look at what’s best for Farmington and I trust his decisions will be well thought out. He’s a great person to have as our representative on city council. He’s trustworthy, dependable, responsive and someone you can depend on to represent you fairly.

It’s just what he does and he gets it.

Patti Norman,

Farmington
