Miller: * * * See April 10 Standard-Times letter by Celeste and Jack Penney: * * * I am writing in support of Paul Schmid's candidacy for the Westport Board of Selectmen. As a thirteen year member of the Westport Finance Committee I have had the opportunity to work with Paul for six of those years in which he was elected and served three years as it's Chairman. During those years I have always found him to be a man of principle and integrity who had the ability to integrate the concerns of all the nine members while dealing with the needs of 54 budgets and the fiscal constraints of diminishing revenues so that we could recommend a balanced budget to the Town Meeting. If elected to the Board of Selectmen, I believe he will bring these same traits to that Board. Bob McCarthy * * * I served under Paul's leadership on the Finance Committee for three years. I found his leadership constructive, consensus building, both strategic and tactical without contention with fiscal responsibility and always a stake in good government. John Miller * * * Paul Schimd brings an unusually fine background to the contest for next Selectman from both the perspective of formal education and knowledge of Westport. Living for decades among those with demonstrated agricultural interests and also environmental concerns, Paul is a leader in preserving the long culture of Westport as a beautiful place to live now and for our grandchildren. Others have stated, and I concur, that Paul learned the nuts and bolts of town financial operations as he served successfully on the Finance Committee. I believe Paul is dedicated to the disciplines of a balanced Town Budget and all that such disciplines require to preserve value for taxpayers. Jack Baughan |
