Councilor Bruce Cheney: Will never refuse anyone simply because we disagree

To The Daily Sun,

Although for the most part I have not engaged with letters to the editor, I will, however, respond to a recent letter accusing my campaign of setting a divisive tone.

My campaign is anything but divisive. When my supporters arranged for me to announce that I was running for mayor, it was open to all and I, for one, would never allow any citizen to be refused attendance at this, or any future events I will attend, simply because we may not agree. Anyone who is suggesting otherwise should be embarrassed.

For the record, I am not acquainted with Mr. Norm Silber and, if we were in the same room, I doubt I would recognize him.

This is an election — any and all who choose to be involved can and will always be welcome by me. I will not now — nor have I ever — refused to participate with someone simply because we disagreed. Further, I would hope to see the author of this letter at some upcoming meetings I will have between now and the election. I will continue to do as I always have; behave as a gentleman, run an honest and open campaign for mayor of Laconia, and will be very proud to once again represent the City of Laconia, this time as its mayor.
