Putnam has boosted integrity of Falmouth board

It seems somewhat disingenuous that a now former Falmouth selectman would suggest that an addition by subtraction is needed in Tuesday's Falmouth town election (Letters, May 10).

It was almost one year ago when Falmouth voters took advantage of an addition-by-subtraction opportunity and changed the composition of the board of selectmen. That change brought a number of very positive improvements to the board of Falmouth's town government, including more civility, integrity, transparency and accountability.

I urge all Falmouth citizens to exercise the precious right to vote in next week's election and to choose to re-elect Brent Putnam for another term. He has demonstrated that he is a hardworking, thoughtful and skilled leader for our community. Let's vote to continue his work of making Falmouth government better. I will vote to continue Mr. Putnam's good work to get the job done!
