Moniz: Meyer’s ‘demonstrated ability’ worthy of governor’s seat

I am a Delaware resident and voter, and I think this is an important perspective.

A gorilla in the room overshadows the Delaware governor’s race: alleged misappropriation of campaign funds by one of the candidates. And not for the first time by the same person.

Matt Meyer understands the importance of financial transparency. As New Castle County executive, he made all county spending public through checkbook.nccde.org, allowing people to see exactly where their money goes.

This initiative promotes transparency, by offering detailed and interactive financial information. It helps ensure that no one can misappropriate funds unnoticed. There’s no danger of anybody putting their hand into the county till and getting away with it.

I sincerely hope we bring Matt Meyer’s level of transparency and demonstrated ability to achieve results to the governor’s office, by giving him our vote in the primary election Sept. 10 and in the general election.
