Dear Editor,
Vote for Shelby Rognstad in the Sandpoint Mayor’s election on November 3rd.
Shelby wants to bring clean, high-tech firms here that provide good-paying jobs.
He drafted a zoning plan that keeps Sandpoint affordable, with no sprawl, and is environmentally sensitive.
He created an herbicide-free, hand-pulling program to rid our lake of invasive weeds.
He supported railroad quiet zones in town. And, he has a solution to downtown parking.
Shelby is a good listener, negotiator and problem-solver. With his eight years in city government, and as a small-business owner, he will bring to us valuable experience, farsightedness and sensitivity of our life style.
So, come out and vote for this very able and exceptional candidate for mayor, Shelby Rongstad.
Philip A. Deutchman
