Opinion : Letter to the Editor: Support for Mayoral Candidate Maynard

To the Editor: The elections are right around the corner and we have some decisionsto make. For the first time in many years we will have a first time Mayor. As someone who has lived in Vinton almost my entire life, Iwill be voting for Bud Maynard to fill the office of Mayor. I haveknown Bud for almost forty years and if there's only one word todescribe him, then that word is integrity. He is one of the most honestpeople I know. Even if that means it's not necessarily what you wantto hear. But that is what makes him a great leader. Someone who can,and will lead this town into the future. He is the person who willhelp Vinton realize its true potential. And he will do so with hisexperience and knowledge. So get out and vote on Tuesday. And castthat vote for the only lifelong Vinton resident running for Mayor. Vote for a better future by voting for Bud Maynard. Drew Sallee, Vinton
