Letters: Hannon is a refreshing candidate

I am writing to share my enthusiastic support of Keith Hannon for Tompkins County Legislature. I had the pleasure of meeting Keith and talking in length about issues that face this county, specifically the Tompkins County Jail and Re-Entry Programs.

I have been employed 25 years by the Sheriff’s Office and 11 of those years I’ve spent facilitating a Jail Re-Entry program to combat the constant problem of recidivism that still plagues this county today. Given that the jail no longer will have variances beginning January 1st that have eased the burden on taxpayers for the past 15-plus years, it’s vital that we have someone who understands the issues and is committed to creating solutions.

He understands where we’ve been and where we need to go. Keith’s independent non-partisan view towards problems, common-sense approach and determination were impressive and refreshing. He is definitely “An Independent Voice for You!”

I urge you to join me in supporting Keith Hannon Tuesday, November 7th, for Tompkins County Legislature, District 5.
