Letter: Scott has best qualifications, will look at county government with open mind

Posted at 9:31 am October 31, 2016
By Oak Ridge Today Letters Leave a Comment

To the Editor:

I wish to say why I am supporting Theresa Scott for charter commissioner.

Theresa has served her community and the City of Oak Ridge as a Neighborhood Watch captain and Oak Ridge Beer Board member for many years. When the Cedar Hill Park renovation committee was formed, Theresa was there. When the work was to be done to rebuild the park, she was there. When new ideas were needed on the Anderson County Fire Commission, she stepped up. As a new District 7 county commissioner, she has been from one end of this county to the other helping our residents with their issues.

Ask anyone from Briceville to Claxton, from Norwood to Rocky Top, from Oak Ridge to New River, they will tell you how Theresa has contributed to making our communities better. She never stops in doing good, she is everywhere!

I am supporting and voting for Theresa because I feel she has the best qualifications for Charter Commission. I know she will look at our county government with an open mind, and make positive and logical recommendations to improve our government.

Please join me in voting Scott for charter commissioner. Your vote is important for the future of our government.

Jerry Creasey
