To the editor:

Rassam Nassar, trusted and knowledgeable: I met Rassam several years ago at a city council meeting.

Since meeting her we have run into each other at variety of city meetings. She has always impressed me with her knowledge of the issues being discussed, well thought out questions, and open demeanor in discussions.

I believe Rassam would be a great asset to the council in both her ability to analyze and understand issues as well as her openness to ideals without prejudice or a preconceived goal.
