Green deserves to keep seat

Please support Dan Green for Kootenai County commissioner. He is intelligent and a successful businessman, which is extremely important in running a large business such as our county government. He understands governmental accounting and its concepts of designated funds.

Having seen the rhetoric and negative campaigning, I had concerns about some of his plans and wrote to him. He promptly responded with clear answers and explanations. I feel that he has and will continue to represent our county in the best manner possible. I feel there is no other choice. He is the candidate with a clear and concise plan.

Please do not support an opponent who only attacks and offers no clear vision of his plan. Dan has proven, effective leadership. At recent forums, Dan has addressed concerns with intelligent and articulate responses that were easily understood. He obviously understands the issues, concerns and pertinent facts necessary for running the county.

He has done the research and studied for the job. He has great family values, a successful marriage and two intelligent, well-educated sons, supported by involved and committed parents. We need a commissioner with proven success and leadership – that being the incumbent, current Commissioner Dan Green.
