I just received word that today’s Eagle-Tribune has an article covering the candidates running for the Salem Town Charter Commission. It is great to see what I hope will be more coverage of both the candidates and the issues surrounding the election. I also was delighted to see a reference to this web site in the article! I hope to see more folks visiting and engaging in the discussion. Thanks go to the Eagle Tribune and reporter Jarret Bencks for the coverage.
I strongly encourage other candidates to consider this website approach to the election. This level of transparency is vital to voters who have a limited amount of time to get to know all of us better and to ask questions. It is this approach that will garner confidence come election day. That confidence, in turn, will be essential for the commission’s acceptance by the community in the long run.
