In my 3½ years on the Deerfield Planning Board (3 years as chair), I quickly learned that our public meetings and appearances were minimal in relation to the amount of time and work that goes on behind the scenes. Selectboard Chair Tim Hilchey exemplifies this dedication to the maximum! Anyone can sit in a Selectboard meeting every two weeks without speaking or engaging, as some have done, but it’s the hours and hours of work between those meetings that make all the difference.

Tim dives deeply into issues, listens to residents with varied opinions and works with our legislators — that’s what makes him an effective, fair, productive town leader. Tim always follows through, and he never gives up!

I hope you will join me in voting for Tim on Monday, May 5 to make sure he can continue his good work for the next three years. Deerfield can be proud to have a leader such as Tim working for our future.
