Nevertheless, I hope you can take my comment on this race.) David DeLong always did his homework when he served on the Council and did his best to access all background information before voting. This became especially apparent during the Target controversy. Dana Graham followed David on the Council, as I recall. He was manager of Dokmo Ford and a key player in seeing that the Target complex ended up down Hwy 3 rather than on available land on the fringe. None of this has come up in the campaign so far. We need David DeLong back on the Council, especially during these hard economic times. (We own property in town, but vote in Bridgewater Township.
