Khalil Saliba and Carolyn Jones are community-oriented with no agenda other than doing what’s right for all the residents of Lewes. With a fresh and open approach, both will focus on solutions and do the right thing.
On the other hand, Mr. Morgan has not been effective in trying to protect Lewes from overdevelopment as described in an April 23 letter to the editor - all the projects mentioned were approved, and there are plenty more on the way through proposed annexations and new developments. The Jones farm was purchased by the City of Lewes, Sussex County and Lewes BPW.

With the summer season rapidly approaching, Lewes Mayor and City Council considered two issues affecting parking at the beach.
It is not uncommon to see cones or other objects placed in front of homes on Lewes Beach. Some are used to ensure a driveway isn’t blocked, while others purposely prevent parking in front of homes.
With parking enforcement officers planning to patrol the residential streets for the first time this summer, city officials are attempting to clearly state in city code what is not allowed.

I am writing this letter in support for the re-election of Robert Kennedy as director of the BPW.
I have known Robert for many years as a mutual neighbor at our Cape Shores homes. I have seen him in action at our HOA meetings, and can attest to his executive ability, and calm and decisive demeanor.
Born in Lewes, he is very familiar with the values and needs of this wonderful community. I know he will protect our environment while at the same time, work to keep our rates as low as possible, consistent with the obligation to provide reliable service now and into the future.
