Letter: ‘He is an excellent listener and problem solver’

November 3, 2022

I am very pleased and delighted that Bob Kaplan is willing to serve our town was a member of the City Council, Position 4. 

Bob is a calm, thorough man who has deep experience in helping municipalities solve problems with results that last. He is an excellent listener and problem solver and has had a career that required collaboration among differing points of view. These are qualities we need in our city government! 

Ashland will be better off with Bob on the City Council and I urge you to vote for him.
