MARLBORO — The recent discussion of David Schoales' candidacy for re-election to the Brattleboro Selectboard strikes me as right on the mark.
David's record on the ongoing issues facing the town has been impressive, and his new ideas valuable and timely. He also has served as an active member of Compassionate Brattleboro, another indication of the ways in which he is continually striving to make ours a healthier community.
And, during the Selectboard discussions on Brattleboro workforce diversity, David offered what has to have been the most reasoned and, at the same time, passionate presentation on race, poverty and exclusion that I've ever heard - and I've heard plenty over the years.
Let's keep him on the Selectboard.
