| With a victory of truly historic proportions and a decisive vote of 1942 in
favor and only 679 against, the good citizens of the Town of Kent have
spoken
with a voice so loud and unified those nattering nabobs of negativity should
be silenced once and for all.

Gretchen Brokaw of the Lake Carmel Community Center Board and Town Board

rancor and without ego to effect a positive change for our town.

Lake Carmel Commuity Center Board member Gretchen Brokaw went all out to help win this for the community |
The one question on everyone's lips was: where were Council Members Denis
Illuminati,
Pat Madigan and Christine Woolley? Once again, the 'Gang of Three'
was notably absent.

With a bright future for our town and with gratitude to those of
you who
worked and voted to make it happen, thanks.
