We are writing to urge you to join us and vote for for Jim Hutchinson for the Select Board.
As former Selects, we have experienced the joys and challenges of serving. The challenge was to honor the vision statement of the town, as we worked to build consensus within the town and at Town Meeting. While we were the CEOs of the day-to-day operations, we also were charged to be leaders while following the will of the town as expressed in Town Meeting votes.
We believe Jim has the deep experience to address the challenges the town will face in the years ahead. His work on the Finance Committee, liaison to the Capital Planning Committee, the Green Energy Committee, and the Water Commission has him in a unique position to have a more holistic understanding of the impacts of proposed projects that the town is currently discussing.
But most important, Jim has demonstrated a temperament that is thoughtful and respectful and inclusive, and these are critical qualities to bring to the role of Select Board.
For these reasons, we urge you to join us in voting for Jim Hutchinson for the Select Board.
Respectfully,
Penny Billings
