To the editor:

This year for the first time in the 37 years I have lived in the in the Village of Manlius, I am writing a letter to the editor of the Eagle Bulletin. This year I am stepping out of the sanctity of the secret ballot to verbalize my continuing support for a candidate for office in the Town of Manlius. Laura Peschel is my choice for receiver of taxes.

Laura Peschel doesn’t just talk about her office and make campaign promises. She is thorough, honest and scrupulous in receiving and accounting for our money, and in fulfilling the trust we place in her. Time and again when property owners have questions, comments and even complaints about property taxes, be they specific or general, she listens attentively and responds in a clear, respectful manner.

Laura Peschel has proven that she is caring about and working for all of the property owners of the Town of Manlius. This year it is time to get past strict party loyalties and vote for the best qualified candidate running for office. Laura Peschel is that person and we are privileged that she is the receiver of taxes for the Town of Manlius. She should be returned to that office.
