Letter to the editor: Voting for John Spear
I am writing this letter in support of John Spear's candidacy to serve as Representative in House District 92 in the Maine Legislature.
I first met John years ago when he, as Business Manager at the former MSAD 50, asked our business, Hi Tech Communications, to submit a proposal to provide phone and other related services for some of the schools in the district. I was immediately impressed by his commonsense approach and professional manner.
Working with John over the years I found him quick to ask probing questions and explore alternative solutions, thinking about the long term not just a remedy to the immediate challenge at hand. On the other side of the coin, John was never reluctant to make a decision and displayed a unique ability to "get things done". And he always strived to ensure that every tax dollar was stretched as far as possible.
While John and I don't necessarily agree on every issue, I believe his intelligence, thoughtfulness, congeniality and commitment to hard work will enable him to capably represent Cushing, Thomaston, St. George and South Thomaston in the Maine House of Representatives. Consequently I'll be voting for John Spear for State Representative on November 8.
