Letter: Support Keith Snow as mayor

This is a letter of support for Keith Snow who is running for mayor of Hollister.
I have known Keith for over a year since he moved to Hollister. I know that he was an engineer in his employment until he suffered an industrial accident leaving him partially handicapped. He has embraced his situation with fortitude and grace and though he has a speech impediment he has a machine ordered that will speak for him. He can be understood if one is patient and he is smart and what is more has followed Hollister politics and is interested in the position of mayor and has outlined his ideas for what direction he feels the city needs to take. These things include reducing the water bill, street repairs, increased library hours and eventually a larger library, more activities for our youth, and gang prevention.
Mary Ellen Brigantino, Hollister
