To the editor:
It has been my privilege and my pleasure to serve as your Town Clerk for the past ten years. I will again be a candidate for the office at the town election on Monday, March 28. I ask for your vote.
My view of the Town Meeting form of government as the purest form of direct democracy continues to obtain, as does my observation that it is also surely the most labor intensive for its citizens. I remain moved and energized by the role of the Town Clerk’s Office in that effort—as a gateway for resident inquiry; a repository of town data; the chronicler, conservator, and certifier of “official acts;” a resource for local officials; the administrator of elections; and as a tender of the town’s cemeteries and those families who have need of them.
I invite you to read more about the office’s activities in the year past and aspirations for the years ahead in this year’s Annual Town Report. Or check out the new and expanded Town Clerk pages on the town’s website.
I look forward to seeing you at the town election on Monday, March 28.
Sincerely,
Susan F. Brooks
138 Bedford Rd.
