Resigning from town board a hard decision

Tuesday, November 26, 2013 - 20:26

To the Editor:

As of Nov. 19, I have submitted my letter of resignation to the town of Berne, in regards to my position as councilperson. It was a hard decision, yet the best decision.

I have other professional opportunities that may be coming, as well as "life is too short" situations.

 Also, with this decision, I feel the present town board has a "common energy" that I do not wish to be a part of.

I will still be highly involved with the causes that got me elected in the first place. If anything, now I will have more time to pursue these ideas, with supporting: business, fewer zoning restrictions, and youth and seniors in our town.

Thank you for this opportunity for the last two years; it has been my pleasure. Please encourage our young people to vote and don't forget to attend board meetings!

God Bless you and our wonderful town,

Bonnie Conklin
Berne

    The subject of the various definitions of the term “awe” (and its overuse or perhaps misuse in dialogue today) will be the subject of a future column. But the events of April 8 perhaps define the term and allow it to be absorbed directly into consciousness.
