Subject: Thanks Jonathan Davis…

for making a reasoned case about someone he supports and why. Jonathan talked about prosperity, jobs, being connected to the wider world, how are children will negotiate their way in this world, attracting good high tech companies to relocate to Chatham and last, but hardly least about our unsustainable increase in population vis a vis how we will be able to support said population.

His arguments were made without bitterness, name calling, personal attacks, innuendo, or campaign mode bluster. This is a model of how we can conduct our debates positively, toward the aim of making progress for all of us.

Whether one agrees with Mr. Davis is beside the point. Promoting thoughtful dialogue in our community is exactly the point.

Thanks, again, Jonathan, for such a good example. May we all follow your lead so that more light than heat is shed on our political discourse.
