We who live in Liberty are fortunate to witness Elise Brown in action as our longtime director of emergency management and for many years as Budget Committee chair. But what personally impresses me the most is her thoughtful presence at selectboard and annual town meetings.

No matter how controversial the issue, Elise articulates a common-sense path forward taking into account the facts in a manner that respects all views. To me, this is why Elise was honored with the dedication in a recent town annual report.

I hope more of you can get to know her as our Waldo County commissioner. She’s a star. We’re willing to share her talents!
