To the Editor:
There is an important primary on Tuesday the 12th for the Republican candidates for the Board of Estimate and Taxation. As former vice-chairman, I wanted to hear the candidates first hand and so I attended the League of Women Voter’s debate Tuesday evening. Two incumbents stood out above all others for their knowledge and tempered approach, Bill Drake and Mike Mason, who is the current chairman.
A newcomer also shined, Debra Hess. This newcomer with the most visible campaign, seemed to find an experience in her past that fit every question and I believe would be useful to the board. Three definitely get my vote, Bill Drake, Debra Hess, and Mike Mason. Then my preference is: Andy Duus, Leslie Tarkington, and Nancy Weissler.
