To the editor:

Great public servants are those who are skillful in reading human emotions and are able to lead people in accomplishing goals. Art Devlin has the experience, intelligence and moral grounding necessary to guide Lake Placid into a healthy and vibrant future.

I have known Art Devlin for the past 10 years and recognize in him a compassionate man who helps every Friday in the Ecumenical Food Pantry. He is a decision maker who listens well to all sides and compromises for the sake of the common good. Art sets goals and with a very logical and organized style accomplishes them. His life is one of dedication to and love of Lake Placid. The experience Art brings from business, politics and athletics, combined with his tremendous enthusiasm for Lake Placid, makes him the perfect choice for mayor of our Olympic Village!
