Thanks for your letter, Mr. Richardson. We want leadership, but we want leadership from someone who knows something about what they’re supposed to be leading. The bottom line is that Canepa has no experience whatsoever in assessing, county clerking, and recording. At the end of the day, we should want our taxes to pay for someone who can do the job, or even understand the job, instead of someone schmoozing on taxpayer funds. Canepa brings nothing to the table and is a free-rider, but not free since Canepa is feeding at the taxpayer trough. Vote for Irizarry.
