In reply to George McCann’s letter (BDN, Dec. 22) concerning Tom Sawyer and Jane Saxl; Sawyer has an excellent record in the business field. He is a dedicated worker and before his retirement, his employees were treated with respect and kindness. The citizens knew him for his great representation on the Bangor City Council. Saxl’s voting on Social Security in committee was a yes vote, but when it came to the floor she voted no.

Saxl has served eight years as a representative and has had plenty of time to make a name for herself. She should stop complaining because she was outspent by Sawyer who had only eight weeks to present his case. It is time a candidate is allowed more time to campaign when voting against an incumbent.
