Being over the line in Madison, my interests are affected by things like the race track and Pine Tree Power. Let me just say that I am not amused by Tamworth trying to make money at Madison's expense through exposing Madison to the economic externalities of Tamworth's dirty businesses. I will work against any candidate who would do so, and will support any candidate who has the integrity to keep Tamworth's problem in Tamworth rather than exporting Tamworth's noise and air pollution to Madison. Thanks for nothing.
