I am writing to the newspaper about Linda Kochmar because I have known her for a few years and know her to be truly caring about all of the people that she represents.

She would not want to put undue burden on the people in the 30th District by voting to raise taxes, as she realizes that many people are having hard times already, and there are many senior citizens that are on very limited incomes.

She is very sensitive and feels responsible for the quality of our lives as far as anything she has control over. I feel very strongly that Linda Kochmar would be a very good representative and would vote for what would be the best for all of our quality of lives.
