Editor,

Kudos to Ann for her wise counsel (Letters, Aug. 29). As the political race for the open council seats heats up, I hope we, as responsible community members, look beneath the surface so that we can listen for a deeper message that surpasses  “stirring men’s blood…through sweeping plans of quick fix theories.”

We all lead such busy lives that it is tempting to make our decisions from “sound bytes” that keep us from diligently weighing which candidates have the actual experience and knowledge that is necessary to create a competent and comprehensive council. We need a council that can negotiate through the complex issues to bring us solutions that will protect us from unintended outcomes due to lack of experience and short-sightedness. Thanks Ann, for reminding us not to “throw the baby out with the bath water.”
