Dear Editor, I am writing in support of Mike Montgomery for county judge-executive. I have been working with Mike over the last 20 months on a multi-million dollar project. His innovative ideas have saved the project time and extra money. I truly believe this is what Mike can do as county judge-executive for Boyle County. He knows how to utilize the resources that are available, and in turn will save the county valuable tax dollars. It is my thought that local elections are the most important; the people who will be elected to these positions have the most direct affect on our daily lives.
