Send your letters to the editor to Matt Fredmonsky via email at Matt.Fredmonsky@Patch.com
The purpose of this letter is to convey my support of Issue 11 which establishes a 0.25 percent income tax for the construction of a new safety building for the city of Kent. As the Sheriff of Portage County with 44 years in law enforcement, 18 of those years as a Kent Police officer, I understand the importance of having the proper tools, including a facility, to provide safety services to a community.

A new safety building, in my opinion, brings with it many advantages to the citizens of the city of…
