I have participated with Tom Panetta on the Lewes Planning Commission in many a contentious hearing, and have experienced the strengths he brings to the position, and which I am sure he exhibits on the Lewes Board of Public Works. He always comes prepared, listens to participants - whether the public, the petitioner or relevant experts - and carefully forms an opinion. I believe his engineering background leads him to make logical, fair and future-considering judgments on planning issues.
For these reasons, I encourage the Lewes community to support his run for the Board of Public Works this coming Saturday.
