Letters: Roger Maki for mayor

I would like to offer my full support for Roger Maki to serve as our mayor for the city of Cloquet.

I have known Roger for over 40 years. First, as a neighbor, then as a Realtor, and later we worked together when I was employed as chief of police and Roger was a member of the city council.

I first met Roger while living just a few doors down from his family. Roger was a great neighbor and we have remained friends. Roger has a successful real estate career and was the person we trusted to help us purchase our homes. Roger has used his business experience to make connections and valuable contributions while serving on the city council.

Roger has proven experience as a city council person and as our mayor. He has assumed additional responsibilities while serving on numerous boards and committees. Roger has a calm presence and has demonstrated the ability to lead during his time of service. Remember his voting record during the handling of the former chief of police. Roger made the right decisions then, and he is the right decision now. Vote Roger Maki for mayor on Nov. 8.

Wade Lamirande, Cloquet
