We note with regret that we’ll be losing you as our county councilman.

Damn! Now we’ll have to break someone else in!

Honestly, Richard, we think that you’ve done an excellent job.

You quite successfully walked the very fine line between commercial interests and the needs of your individual constituents, which took some extremely clever and thoughtful maneuvering.

Also, we have always been pleased by your accessibility and your willingness to listen carefully.

Our only disappointment with your performance was in the matter of the roadside-signage ordinance, changes in which you should have more forcefully pursued.

We’re very sorry to see that you are planning to go.

Jean and Steve Henigson
