To the Editor:

Ship Bottom deserves leadership rooted in fiscal responsibility, dedication and a complete understanding of the duties and powers of the office of council. Councilman Tom Tallon has consistently embodied these qualities throughout his years of service.

Since first being elected in 2005, Tom has been at the center of every major contract negotiation, whether with police, teamsters or non-aligned employees by ensuring fair agreements that also protect taxpayers.
