Richard Hoover supports Thomas Sayre for Warren County Board of Supervisors

I support Thomas Sayre’s November reelection to the Warren County Board of Supervisors. I find him to be a man of integrity and one whose voting record, whether as Town Councilman or Board Supervisor, so often reflects philosophies and beliefs which I support. A quick internet review of his voting profile reveals some of them (quotations are his):

• Transparency; Mr. Sayre supports limitations on what governing bodies can discuss behind closed doors;
• Responsible Development; he opposes “too much high density development for Front Royal;”
• Support for the Samuels Public Library;
• “Staying within budgets and reining in excessive spending;” not just once, for example, has he voted against salary increases;
• Managing taxes to a minimum; “I don’t think it’s going to sit well with the citizens of Front Royal to raise their taxes when…we have a balanced budget and there are surplus funds available;” see Mr. Sayre’s voting record against real estate tax and utility rate increases;
• The Great Outdoors; see his support for local hunters, for the Royal Shenandoah Greenway and its bike trails program.

Finally, an internet review shows that Mr. Sayre, whether as councilman or supervisor, does not shrink from mixing it up with his colleagues in defense of what he believes.
