BRATTLEBORO — I would like to let Brattleboro voters know what a good neighbor Kurt Daims is. He helps us neighbors fix our broken things.
He also does this for other people. Signs near his home let people know where they can get things fixed for free on Saturday mornings.
He also served as town rep many years, getting people to look at all sides of the issues.
I am pleased that he is running for District 2 representative and also for Selectboard. I encourage you to vote for him.
