Haines is hard working, honest

To the editor:

    I am writing this letter to express how important I think it is that we elect Troy Haines to represent District 7 in the Maine House of Representatives.

    I have known Troy for years, in several different capacities. He is currently working on developing a USDA approved meat cutting facility in Aroostook County. This would be an amazing step forward for The County, and for families like mine who currently have to truck their cattle to southern Maine to get USDA approval. It’s hard to justify livestock farming in Aroostook County as a way of making a living when the costs currently associated are so high. We can’t let the amazing resources we have go to waste. Troy is a hardworking man who truly cares about Aroostook County and knows that we can thrive. He is a custom meat cutter who built his continually-growing, successful 10-year old-business on his own.

    I’ve also known Troy as a close friend for the past 12 years. He is a person that I have always been able to count on, and I know many people who would say the same of him. In friendships, in business, and in politics; Troy is a person who will view every matter objectively and do what is right, regardless of whether or not it will benefit him. He will represent the people of District 7 wholeheartedly and honestly, and knowing him as I do I know that we would be very lucky to have someone like him representing us.
