One Saturday I went looking for David Wolfram signs to put on our lawn. We get hundreds of vehicles passing our house and thought it would be well known he is running for Selectboard and has our support. Our neighbors on Conway Street also had one of his signs and as drive around I see more signs which gives me encouragement that change can happen where we live and it would be for the good of the town that he gets elected.

I did start my search for his campaign signs by going to town hall and then to his house. I met his knowledgeable wife and spoke with her about conditions in town and changes needed. We were in agreement on issues and that financially the town is in trouble. With new plans for a senior center, town hall, senior housing, etc. and possibly no state funding these would not happen. I also mentioned there is little support from the private schools when they are profiting and using town resources.

Then I went to the dump to meet David Wolfram whom I wish I had voted for last election. Then I saw for myself people campaigning for his opponent who were interrupting traffic as people tried to do their weekly trash run. I thought how intrusive to push yourself on people.

So I went to the Wolfram camp, introduced myself and met David Wolfram. I spoke my mind quiet deliberately wondering what is going to happen to our town and how we won’t be able to afford to live here in a few years due to high taxes. We have lived and worked here for 30-plus years.

David was quiet while I was ranting and listening and agreeing with my concerns. I took a flyer and was impressed with his business background. He too is concerned about our seniors and farmland. He has worked to develop the landfill, improved parking issues and even volunteered for our Fire Department. He wants taxes for all kinds of town improvements not to fall on residents. He is a “can do person” who will aid people living here. Please vote on May 5 and elect a Selectboard member who stands behind us and for our well-being.
