To the editor:

I am writing in support of William Boyd III and Finlay Rothhaus, candidates for Merrimack Town Council.

Both men have well served our community for a number of years, not only in the council, but also on other bodies including the Board of Selectmen, school district Budget Committee, school district Planning and Building Committee, House of Representatives and Charter Commission.

I have had the opportunity to work directly with both gentlemen and appreciate the levelheaded and respectful way in which they conduct the town’s business. They are conscientious and highly capable public servants with a firm grasp of the issues facing the town, demonstrating a balanced fiscal discipline ensuring that Merrimack is among the safest and best places to live in the country.

On April 8, I will be voting for Finlay Rothhaus and William Boyd III for Town Council and strongly urge you to do so as well.

Thank you.
