Question: What do you perceive to be the major issue of the office for which you are running and how do you propose to address the issue?

The major issue facing the selectman is to get the most out of our scarce resources during these fiscally difficult times. We must deliver quality services such as top-notch education for our children and public safety for our citizens. This must be accomplished by prioritizing where our precious tax dollars are directed and working with staff to save money wherever possible. These decisions must be made with the transition to the new government in mind.
