To the Editor:

It is truly my pleasure to write a letter of support for Bernie Miller and Sue Nemeth for Princeton Council. It is not easy to always find the right people to want to take on the duties, time commitment and obligations that are associated with the job of Council person. I have known Bernie and Sue for many years. I have had the pleasure of serving with both of them on our past local governing board. I cannot say enough of how detailed and engaged Bernie and Sue where when faced with many challenging issues.

It is not enough for a Council person to ask questions, but the real key to successful governing is to find a solution to the problem. Bernie and Sue specialize in solution and problem solving. The many major issues facing Princeton such as: property taxes, affordable housing, infrastructure repair, debt reduction and prioritizing our future capital expenses will be in capable hands with Bernie and Sue.

As a tax payer I want to place on Council people that represent all of our interests. When I lie down at night I want to continue to feel that my children and family are protected by a wonderful police department that is supported by full council. As a child who was part of Princeton’s 1960s busing plan to integrate our schools, I was always taught that Princeton was a unique and caring town. Bernie and Sue are two people that I trust that can continue to restore a faith in local government. Princeton has been and should continue to be the leader in social justice issues. Bernie and Sue are dedicated, smart, approachable, honest, witty, caring, hardworking, and advocates for a truly inclusive Princeton community. Please join me and support Bernie and Sue.
