I am grateful to receive The River Reporter so I may keep up with the news from my town while I am away.

In response to a letter to the editor from Charles Petersheim [in the issue of October 30] (www.riverreporter.com/letters-editor/4302/2014/10/29/petersheim-takes-highland-officials-task-proposed-tax-hike), I feel I must express my opinion.

For Charles Petersheim to suggest that Andy Boyar, our supervisor, resign over a proposed tax hike or anything of that nature is preposterous.

Andy Boyar is the best thing that ever happened to this town. He and his board have long worked for the best interests of the people of Eldred and Highland Lake.

I trust them and look forward to their good town governing.
