Boylan: Comstock has skills for the job

As a resident of the south Lake County area for 16 years, my husband and I have raised two children here (one graduated and one graduating this year from Middletown High). We recognize the importance of smart growth and the ability to be able to create and support business in south Lake County as well as the rest of the county.


Jim Comstock supports this same philosophy and, like many parents who have had the opportunity to raise their children in a wonderful community like Lake County, we want that for our children, also.


Having served on the Middletown Unified School District Board of Trustees with Jim gave me insight and experience working with him firsthand. He is honorable, trustworthy, not afraid to stand up for his beliefs (even if they are not politically correct) and hard working. Jim has the experience of working on a board to get things done and has the financial background as well as a deep love for his community to do the right thing.


I am honored to support him and I know my husband feels the same, that’s why when we vote we are supporting Jim Comstock for Supervisor for District 1.

Turcotte: La Faver's sensibility will benefit all

Though I have projects in District 1 and love Middletown, I actually live in District 5 in Cobb, so I don't get to vote. However, what I know of Susanne La Faver is that she is a thoughtful, intelligent, inclusive and kind person. She will bring a sensibility that will benefit all.


I don't know Jim Comstock, though have met him several times. I do know that it was unsettling to find out that he would like to take the Middletown County Trailside Park, 107 acres of no longer disturbed land and turn it into RV parking.


I do appreciate opportunities for growth, but I believe, as does Susanne, that to remove a jewel of public land in South Lake County, is not appropriate ... or perhaps appreciated.


I run the annual EcoArts: Lake County Sculpture Walk in the park, but understand that the only true constant in life is that things change. I don't expect to run an art project there forever. I do hope the Park will be there forever.
