I really appreciate the job Mary A. (Toni) Sharp did in her six years as a Rehoboth Beach commissioner. I had many chances to interact with her on a number of issues - among them water and sewer rates, trees, and our lakes - especially Silver Lake.
She was always candid in laying out the facts as she saw them, and was always open to hearing what I and others had to say.
I think I have a good understanding of how skilled she has been in her approach to the job of being an elected official, since I was an elected official for 22 years in Takoma Park, Md.
Her well-reasoned and open approach to the job will benefit everyone in Rehoboth Beach.
Please join me in voting for Toni Sharp for commissioner.
