With the election close at hand, I wanted to let people know what a great job Barbara Tolbert has been doing as mayor of Arlington.
As a longtime employee at Kidzle B Kids Daycare, I have seen some of her caring accomplishments. We had a problem at the day care. The area behind our day care was not in our control, but was treed and overgrown with brush. It was a common place for drug deals, drug use and transient camping. Neighborhood crime was up. Not a good thing next to a day care.
Barbara made time for my boss and came out for a visit with another official. A plan was immediately made to clear out and fence the area as much as possible. Easy access has been taken away from transients, drug dealers and users. Neighborhood crime has dropped. Plus, thanks to Barbara and those working with her, it also looks much nicer.
This is but one example of what Barbara Tolbert has done and will continue to do for Arlington if given the chance. She’s a very honest, dedicated, trustworthy and hard-working lady who knows how to get things done. The townspeople of Arlington are clearly her main priority. What’s even more important is that she makes herself available to people when there is a concern.
