Dear Editor,

Have you ever heard “if it is not broken, don’t fix it?”  Greenville County District #26 has excellent representation on county council in councilman Lynn Ballard.  On three occasions, Mr. Ballard effectively and quickly responded to our government related requests.  He listened to our problem, contacted the appropriate person on our behalf and followed up with us to make sure the issues were fixed.  We know others that have  had the same experience with councilman Ballard.

I only wish, in these trying days and times, that all elected officials would:

• Have a means to be effective listeners from constituents

• Respond accurately on time

• Get results favorable to our citizens.
