Letter: Wyckoff 'Can't Afford' to Lose Boonstra

To the Editor:

When I moved to Wyckoff 30 years ago, things were very different. There were still quite a few working farms, there was lots of open space, and Wyckoff had a wonderful "feel."

I still love my town and try to give back by serving on various committees. I have spent seven years on the Zoning Board, which is where I first met Rudy Boonstra. I am not a political person and try to stay out of politics. I only care about Wyckoff. That is why I solidly support Mr. Boonstra. It is my experience since I met Rudy that he is a very wise, honest man, who grew up in town, worked as a dairy farmer and has consistently served his town for many years, always making decisions that were in Wyckoff's best interests.

I urge my fellow citizens to come out, participate in the political process and support Rudy Boonstra in the primary. Even if you are not affiliated with a political party, you can still cast a vote for Rudy on June 8th in the primary. We can't afford to lose a man of Rudy's caliber. I can only wish more people like Rudy would step up to serve their communities.
