Another letter of support in the Salisbury Post, this time from my former colleague Dr. Martha West: A Skilled Planner I am pleased to have the opportunity to endorse Gene Miller’s candidacy for county commission. Gene and I worked together for several years at the Rowan-Salisbury Schools Office when he was associate superintendent and I was elementary education director. These years of working together gave me the opportunity to observe Gene’s capabilities in several areas. Since he supervised several areas of school operations such as maintenance, food service and bus operations, I had the opportunity to see that he is an excellent leader and manager. He also had huge budgetary responsibilities which he handled with fairness and skill. His previous experience in banking contributed to his success in this crucial area. Later when I was on the school board, I observed Gene’s skill in planning. He was responsible for coming up with the information needed to make decisions about which projects would be included in what turned out to be a successful bond referendum. He surveyed the building needs in all of the geographic areas of the county, put together the necessary statistics and helped to lead the building of three new elementary schools, one high school and additions to several other schools. He has had experience in our local school system, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools and two other systems with construction, architects, attorneys, contractors and business leaders. In addition to his strengths and experience I have listed above, Gene is a man of fair and honest character. He will be able to work with other commissioners in a respectful and open manner. Most of all, he will respect the citizens of Rowan County and work for what is best for us. Gene is running as an unaffiliated candidate. Look for his name on the ballot and vote for this fine man. You will be glad you did. — Martha K. West
