Editor, Daily News:

I have been on the Tourist Development Council (TDC) for over four years and served under Collier County Commissioner Jim Coletta last year when he was chairman.

Jim was good in directing the TDC on its mission of managing over $14 million in annual bed-tax receipts. He did his homework in discussing the issues and agenda items and was fair and accommodating.

Although I cannot vote for Jim because I live in another district, I urge his re-election.
