This letter is to urge the voters of Bethany Beach to re-elect Tony McClenny to the town council on Sept. 6.  There are many good reasons for doing so.

Tony is ending his second term as councilman and has missed only one council meeting in the four years (personal surgery).  He has served as past chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee, on the Charter and Ordinance Review Committee and served as past town treasurer.

He is, at present, an active member of the Planning Commission and is presently vice mayor of the town.  He puts in many hours working on town business.  At town council meetings, he is knowledgeable of all the matters coming before the council because he, as a good council member should do, has studied the matters in advance and is ready to make an informed decision.

One unusual service that Tony McClenny performs for the citizens of Bethany Beach is the e-mail newsleter which he sends to interested persons to keep them informed of actions taken at council meetings and of other activiteis taking place in the town.  This is above and beyond the ordinary duties of a town councilman.  Thank you, Tony.

Our town of Bethany Beach is a well-managed town, in excellent financial shape, low taxes, attractive in appearance and a place we can all be proud of.  When you vote for Tony McClenny, he will continue to work hard to keep it that way.
