Sinnett Supports Miller for Village Board President in Monticello

Dear Editor,
I was raised in Monticello. With the exception of a few years in Madison, I have spent my entire life in this small community. In all those years, I don’t recall seeing signs in citizen’s yards promoting a candidate for Village President. This year we have two individuals running for the Village President, which also seems unusual. It is sometimes difficult to find anyone to want to take on that job.
