When he first ran for the Lewes Board of Public Works, Tom Panetta was one of the most highly qualified candidates ever to seek that position.
During his tenure he has proven to be an outstandingly dedicated and productive member of the board. It is highly ironic that he has been singled out for personal attacks in letters to the Cape Gazette from certain critics of the board. His composure in the face of these attacks brings to mind the words of Rudyard Kipling, “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you…”
We should gratefully and enthusiastically support Tom Panetta for re-election as a director of the Lewes BPW.
