To the editor:

I wasn't going to write a letter to the editor supporting Tony Verga, because I didn't feel it necessary to tell what we all know.

Tony is a hardworking, honest, caring, intelligent person who cares about the people in his district. How do I know this?

Tony was one of the people who stepped up to offer help to our family during a crisis that I would not wish on anyone. Not once has he asked for any ackowledgement or even thanks.

Our family is only one of many Tony has helped over the last 14 years. Father Bullock used to say, we should do the right thing and expect or ask for anything in return. That's Tony Verga.

For Mr. Gaines and the Times to keep running negative-slanted stories should make us all pause and think, why?

Don't be fooled by fancy signs and election rhetoric.
