I want to express my appreciation to the Orange-Chatham Sierra Club chapter for their candidate forum and their subsequent endorsements of Mark Kleinschmidt for Chapel Hill mayor and of Ed Harrison, Laurin Easthom, Jim Merritt and Penny Rich for Chapel Hill Town Council. As the owner of a small business, I know that concern for the environment is a foundation for long-term economic development, and I feel that Kleinschmidt, Harrison, Easthom, Merritt and Rich will work hard to see that Chapel Hill grows in a responsible and deliberate manner. I hope that readers will carefully examine the environmental positions of candidates before they vote.
