Cathy Bertinuson: Tim Hilchey — Moving Deerfield forward, saving money
I am writing in support of Tim Hilchey’s re-election to the Deerfield Select Board. In addition to his selectboard seat, Tim has a history of service to our town, including participating in the Community Preservation Committee, South County EMS Oversight Board, Medical Reserve Corps, and Friends of Deerfield 350th fundraiser. As a selectman, he has worked tirelessly for the people of Deerfield, even donating his own physical labor! In tough financial times he has fought for state and federal funds, including almost $3 million to fund the Leary Lot and EV Charger Project— at no cost to the town.
Letter: Vote Barb Brassor for Northfield Select Board
Richard Andriole: David Wolfram best choice for Selectboard
Robert J. Decker: David Wolfram a leader Deerfield needs
Joan Page Nassivera: Deerfielders, vote for Tim Hilchey
