Letter to the Editor
I am writing in support of Ann Obrecht, who is seeking re-election as Wayne County Commissioner. Ann and her husband, Jim, are solid Wayne County citizens who’ve been engaged in a family dairy farm operation for over thirty years. As a small business owner, Ann understands fiscal responsibility and she has carried this understanding through to her job as commissioner. During her first six years in office the county’s general fund spending remained level and, during 2009 and 2010, county expenditures were reduced to match the county’s declining revenue.She has been an avid supporter of economic development and has secured grant funding for the renovation of Pounden Hall at OARDC and for many county infrastructure projects. She has also been a dedicated supporter of agricultural programs in Wayne County.
In these difficult economic times, we are fortunate to have Ann as a commissioner. She reflects integrity in her job and has managed our county resources exceptionally well. I urge voters to re-elect Ann Obrecht as commissioner.
Very truly yours,
Ronald E. Holtman,
