I have known John O’Donnell for many years. I know him as intelligen and thoughful, and a member of no clique. At the same time, he listens, especially if you are not screaming half truths. He also knows that at some point, those whose mantra is “cut, cut, cut” are willing to kill any investment in Waterville’s future, leaving the city an empty shell.

For myself, I will go door-to-door for John O’Donnell if he wishes. He is the kind of city councilor we need. His only agenda is a fiscally responsible approach to this city and the issues that face us. And, oh yes, he is a decent, honest person as well.
