Dear Editor,

I am proud to say that I know all three current commissioners personally and believe they deserve another term.All three gentlemen are hardworking, knowledgeable and committed to the residents of Carbon County to make our county a better place to live, work and recreate.The current form of county government is imperfect at best with one party or the other being in the majority.However, our commissioners are doing the best they can with the limited resources available to them.While no one likes increased taxes and property tax reform is needed in our state, our county taxes are reasonable for a county our size.Therefore, vote on May 19 for the re-election of our current board of commissioners to continue the positive progress in our county.Mark SverchekLehighton
