Vote for Cynthia Neff if you want transparent government

I write in support of Cynthia Neff for Albemarle County supervisor.

After a distinguished career as a vice president for IBM, she has decided to devote her considerable talents to public service in county government.

She is an open-minded person, willing to listen to all points of view before making a decision.

I believe she is a responsive person to individual citizen issues, and I have found her to be very willing to discuss and listen to differing points of view.

She believes in open, transparent government, something we have not had recently by the majority of the current Board of Supervisors and including her opponent, Ken Boyd.

She detests the “midnight coup” in June by the Board of Supervisors in resurrecting the U.S. 29 Bypass without citizen input and without any data that would support building this very expensive road at federal and state taxpayer expense.

I urge citizens to vote for Cynthia Neff on Nov. 8.
