I am a Chatham County resident now, but lived in Chapel Hill for several years. Chapel Hill is a unique place. It has many natural areas, as well as an upbeat metropolitan feel. The university enriches the town and offers something for everyone. The people I have come to know seem to care about their community and the environment. Even though I can’t vote in the Chapel Hill mayoral election, if I could vote it would be for Mark Kleinschmidt. He is endorsed by the Sierra Club and the Independent. The Sierra Club only endorses candidates who have a strong environmental track record. If Chapel Hill is going to keep its unique qualities, it needs someone who will promote smart growth. Please vote by Nov. 3.
