One of the best things about living in a small town is that if you are active in the town and get out, you get to meet all sorts of residents; the young and old, rich and poor, etc.
I have had the pleasure to meet with Bob Bahre on a few occasions in town. I have a couple of mutual friends with him, and have been introduced, and talked, to him.
He is very much down to earth, very approachable, and I certainly have not found him to be egotistical in any way, shape or manner.
He has used local contractors to do work on his property, again giving back to the community.
As an Alton taxpayer, I say thanks to him, and other large taxpayers for helping to keep the Alton tax rate among the lowest in the Lakes Region.
