GRAHAMSVILLE – Self-proclaimed government watchdog Kenneth Walter announced on Monday that he will seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for the Sullivan County Legislature’s District Three. That seat is currently held by Republican Kathleen “Kitty” Vetter, the legislature’s vice chairewoman.
“Quite simply, our government and our representatives must work better, smarter and more efficiently for the greater good of all of Sullivan County,” Walter said.
He said for many years he has “stood unofficial guard on government’s wall and monitored the goings on, for better or worse, in our county legislature and other areas of local government. After attending literally hundreds of government meetings, hearings and sessions I know that I can be more effective actually sitting at the table where the decisions that affect all of us are being made.”
He said that “vision, common sense and the ability to find solutions to problems by not thinking in the same old way that got us into this mess have been in short supply, particularly these last four years.”
Walter said it is “time for new blood.”
He is a member of the county’s Ethics Review Board and the county Charter Review Commission and treasurer of the Town of Fallsburg Democratic Committee.
