Dear Editor,
I am writing in support of Rob Hecker for election to the Killington Select Board. Rob was appointed to the board last year to fill an open seat resulting from the untimely resignation of Steve Finneron.
He has spent the past year listening and learning, which is exactly what we should expect from a new board member. He is now up for election for a one-year term.
Although Rob and his family have lived in Killington full-time only since 2021, he has already served on the Planning Commission as well as the Select Board. His years of corporate leadership experience add a new perspective to the board, and, for those who sat in on the recent candidate’s forum, you saw his energy and interest in using that experience here in Killington.
His thoughts on improving our budget process should be taken seriously in future years, and his comments on hiring and retaining the next Town Manager are keys to a successful future.
I look forward to Rob serving on the Select Board for another term and hearing more from him as time passes.
Art Malatzky, Killington
