 My candidacy for Planning Board is based on a very simple “core value.”  I want to help preserve the character of our town.  The current economic slowdown has provided little respite from the pressures of land development.  Ground and air traffic continue to have an impact on us.  These forces will likely intensify in the future.  I believe I have the background and experience to help.
