It was an honor to serve

To the Editor: I would like to thank everyone who supported me in the Sparta municipal election. I am truly grateful for everyone’s efforts. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as I had hoped, but it was an honor to serve the people and taxpayers of Sparta as a member of the council this past year and a half. There is still much work to be done- reducing the size, scope and inefficiency of the township government, eliminating wasteful spending wherever possible, improving the local business climate, and opposing any new extravagant municipal construction projects. I plan to remain vigilant in these areas, and I hope other conservative-minded citizens will as well. Wayne Ring Sparta
