Letter: Looking it up

Editor, Daily News:

As someone who is interested where not just our country but our state is going, I'm amazed that more people don't know who is running for governor.

The Daily News ran a story headlined, "Gallagher, Crist: Cut from the same cloth?"

It said there is little difference between them.

While I think it's honorable that neither the candidates or their local supporters took that article as an opportunity to turn negative, there are some differences.

One example is their economic plans. After hearing Charlie Crist speak and reading what there is to be found about his economic plan it feels like he is willing to promise everything to everyone to be elected. Tom Gallagher is Florida's chief financial officer, and because of that background he has a more in-depth, 23-page plan about how to continue leading this state's financial matters.

Another thing that has really impressed me is how Gallagher is willing to say possibly unpopular things because he feels they are right for our state in the long run.

But there again, I hope no one takes my word for it. In this day and age, all one needs to do to find out more information about candidates is to type their names into google.com

I hope everyone takes 10 minutes to look into the different people who would like to run our state for the next four years.
