Barry Jacobs could have no better endorsement than the one written by Thomas Crowder, the chair of the Triangle J Council of Governments (CHN April 14).

The title of the letter, "Jacobs courageous, atypical leader" fits him perfectly. Mr. Jacobs' involvement with the Council of Governments shows that he is not only working for Orange County but to meet the goals of all of us.

Barry Jacobs has my vote for county commissioner. I hope he will have yours as well.
