Editor,

I am someone who fully believes in the voting process; everyone has the right to vote as they choose. I, however, get concerned when the negative comments come out about good people who want to serve in their communities, no matter which party they represent.

I have known Joe McBride for over 15 years and have worked with him on many occasions and in a variety of capacities. When I hear comments that he is the wrong kind of person to serve as the Chenango County Court Judge, it gives me great concern.
