Cooper’s Credentials: Business, Finance Seasoning Plus Courage

Letters to the EditorLetters

Our city is at a financial crossroads. With the state facing a $14 billion deficit, we cannot look to the state to solve our problems.

The answer lies leadership and with willingness of our elected officials to make tough decisions. In the field of candidates running for City Council, I believe that Jeff Cooper has the integrity and fortitude to lead us through this crisis.

As a retired Certified Public Accountant, I lived each day by the numbers. At times, I had to advise my clients to make sacrifices in order to preserve their financial health.

In the near future, our city will be facing similar financial choices.

In next Tuesday’s election, we need City Council members who not only have business and financial experience, but who have the courage to make hard choices.

As a financial professional and small business owner, Jeff Cooper has the proven skills to guide our city through the rough waters ahead.
