Supports DeVilbiss

To the editor:

There is a saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Well, when we are talking about Mat-Su Borough Mayor, it makes perfect sense to re-elect Larry DeVilbiss. Larry brings his experience and common sense as a farmer, former School Board member, MEA Board of Directors and longtime Valley resident to his job as mayor.

Larry wants to develop resources responsibly, knowing that we can use our God-given natural resources wisely and beneficially for businesses and Valley families. Larry opposes government overreach, over regulation and won’t smother us with California style regulation. Larry’s concern for opportunity for the people of our valley is what drove him to run for mayor just one year ago and already we are seeing a huge increase in business and job creation with more than 750 new business licenses this year alone.

And, in the environment of a national recession, with Larry as mayor, more than 800 new jobs have been generated in the borough. As a businessman Larry understands the importance of an economy that is local as opposed to remaining a bedroom community. Larry won’t rubber stamp big government either. Larry worked to cut the budget and wasteful spending. Larry is unequivocally pro-life and always willing to speak up for the right to life.

Larry issued the first Mat-Su Borough proclamation in support of the National Day of Prayer. Larry’s honesty, moral character and hard work ethic are what we need in the Valley. Vote to re-elect Larry DeVilbiss Mat-Su Borough Mayor Oct. 2.
