Don Kerr and Rebecca Rotzler are -- by far -- the most experienced and principled candidates running for Village Board. Having spent years on the School Board and Village Board, they have proven track records, accomplishments to be proud of and public reputations built on honesty, hard work, and an understanding of exactly how government can better our lives.
I've voted for Don Kerr in every election he's run in, and look forward to serving alongside him on the Village Board. His ability to stand rock-solid on principle while navigating complicated public policy is sorely needed on the Village Board.
I've already served with Rebecca of course; we won seats on the Board together in 2003 and she served as Deputy Mayor for our entire term. I already know her bulldog determination and tireless advocacy. Others have written about her humble, relentless dedication to rolling up her sleeves when others need help. But I also know her dedication to finding legislative solutions to problems too big for volunteerism; not only her work on such public policy as assembling a team and drafting our first Affordable Housing Law or creating our Housing Board, but also the seemingly small things like working with the Fire Department to get brand new uniforms for our firefighters.
Every once in a while you'll see a letter saying, 'I don't always agree with person X, but....". Well, none of that. I almost always agree on the same big picture as Don and Rebecca. And they both have the seriousness, expertise and conviction necessary to put that vision into practice.
We desperately need voices of reason on the Village Board, and I can't think of two more reasonable and dedicated neighbors to serve with.
