Letter: J4, I<Admer is smart, proven, effective and right on the important issues Someone once said that all politics is local and I believe it's true. Our state and county elections are incredibly important, and this is why we must get out the vote in the August primaries. As a Vero Beach businessman and concerned citizen I am throwing my support behind Republican Jay Kramer for County Commissioner in District 5. Though I am an independent, this election will have a lasting impact on how government in our county is run and Jay Kramer is smart, proven and effective. I personally know that he's a great guy with a commitment to do the right thing for our community. He's been right on every issue that concerns us. Bob Solari has been terribly wrong on many positions, most importantly how to save the Indian River Lagoon, which is at a critical. juncture and affects us all. Solari also has pretty much run the commission his way for years and for me that's reason enough alone for him to be gone. I worked with Kramer on the creation of the Downtown Vero Beach Art District and the Downtown Business District, and I've seen how he approaches things with a personal touch. I know his commitment to bringing smart growth to the region, to the lagoon and to the children in our county. I know he's a "get -'r -done" kind of guy who finds workable solutions to problems. He's a team player who brings everyone together instead of pushing away people he might disagree with. Those are qualities I want in my local leaders. The issues are clearly defined: the environment, infrastructure, water quality, taxes, short-term rentals and the elephant in the corner — All Aboard Florida. On these and other points I know Jay Kramer is the right man for the job. 8/23/16 7:16 AM ,Z,1, �,-fZ http://www.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?expire=&title=Letter%3A...-right-on-the-important-issues-39a24d2d-4d 7f-31a6-e05-390889831.htmI Page 2 of 3
