LETTER: If You Don’t Know Democratic Slate, Meet Them At Spaghetti Dinner

To the Editor:
Your vote counts.  Make a difference!  Village residents will vote on Tuesday March 15. There are important issues before us and they are not simple ideas like having political signs on our front lawns or not. 
The economic downturn has hurt, and hurt our neighbors who own businesses on Main Street.  The blessing and the burden of tourism in our community and the challenges and choices that come with having a major medical center cause a strain on local taxpayers. 
The Board of Trustees has important choices to make for all of us.  There is an important difference in candidates that must be pointed out. 
James Dean is a local businessman and a true thinker who asks questions to discover alternatives before arriving at solutions. 
Walter Franck is a beloved and dedicated physician with significant experience dealing with and supervising hundreds of people and many millions of dollars.
Jeff Katz, the senior member of the Village Board, has demonstrated a financial understanding of village economics born of experience and polished with financial acumen. 
Ellen Tillapaugh, born and raised in Cooperstown, is a community activist with a demonstrated history of looking at all sides of an issue before deciding on an answer. 
If you know these people as I do you will support them for the position of village trustee.  If you don’t know them, you can meet them when they work at the free spaghetti dinner on Monday March 14, at the Vets Club.  The Cooperstown Democratic Committee is paying for, cooking and serving a complete dinner for FREE.  Donations will be accepted, with 100 percent of the money (or donated canned goods) going to the Cooperstown Food Bank.
I hope to see you Monday at the dinner and I hope on Tuesday that you will vote for DEAN, FRANCK, KATZ AND TILLAPAUGH!  You will make the difference!
