I was pleasantly surprised when I read the following on page A4:

In making endorsements for the Budget Committee, our thought was to keep a good thing going. That’s why we’re endorsing incumbents Richard Hickok and Skip Murphy, who have worked tirelessly to keep Gilford’s budget as low as possible by researching and debating line item after line item. Some may call it nitpicking, but in this economy, any nitpicking that can save dollars and pennies is good for the taxpayers.

I am grateful and thankful for the paper's endorsement - and yes, it is nitpicking, for that is what we are elected to do.
