Editor, Times-Union: On Tuesday, May 3, I’m voting for Tressa Nichols for County Council. I’ve known Mrs. Nichols for three years. She is one of the best free-market thinkers I know. She believes the government should get out of the way, leaving people with more money to spend. She believes a free market is better than a managed market. Nichols believes the family is more important than the government. She believes parents are more responsible for raising their children than the government. While Nichols wants a small government, she also has a passion to serve in the government. She understands the need and role of government. I hope she is elected. Kosciusko can benefit from the leadership of Tressa Nichols. Brad Skiles Warsaw, via email
