LETTER from ROGER MacMILLAN

Village Candidate Approachable,

Intelligent – No Hidden Agendas

To the Editor:

I wish to strongly support the candidacy of Mary Margaret Robbins for village trustee in the coming election. A certified and licensed pharmacist, many will recall her from the years she spent at the CVS pharmacy when it was located on Main Street. Having been a resident of Cooperstown for many years she has the vision and dedication to conserve our heritage.

Despite her most recent health challenges, she has consistently managed a smile on her face. Helping Mary Margaret in this regard has been her loyal companion and rooter Dodger, whom she rescued from the animal shelter years ago. She is thoughtful, approachable, intelligent, and is a great listener of all opinions – no hidden agendas.

One of her opponents has as a major legislative accomplishment-the proposal of placing the Rainbow Flag on the village flagpole during Pride Month (June). Learning of the contrary rumblings, he stated that if one did not like his proposal they should not vote for him in the coming election – come to think of it, that’s not a bad idea!

Dr. ROGER MacMILLAN
Cooperstown
