ROWE — Two write-in candidates are vying for an open three-year Selectboard seat, as the current chair, Chuck Sokol, is not seeking reelection.

Polls will be open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rowe Elementary School.

Meg Pallotta

Selectboard write-in candidate Margaret “Meg” Pallotta, 61, moved to Rowe 3½ years ago, with a background in municipal finance. She was employed for 13 years by Hanover, a town of about 15,000 residents. Pallotta worked in the Treasurer’s Office for eight years, and was assistant town clerk for another five years, until her retirement.

“I’m well-versed in municipal finance and government,” Pallotta said. “Rowe is well-run, but I can jump in right from the beginning. I understand how town contracts work. … I would love to help out. I’d love to be involved.”

Outside of her municipal work, Pallotta has run 19 marathons — completing the Abbott World Marathon Majors — in cities such as Boston, Chicago, New York, London, Berlin and Tokyo.

“I still run,” she said. “I love it.”

Bill Baker

“I’ve lived in Rowe 32 years,” said William “Bill” Baker, who is running against Pallotta. “Now it’s time to give back. Rowe is very fortunate — we’ve got some really great programs. I just want to maintain what we have and keep the tax rate reasonable.”

Baker, 55, ran Baker’s Office Supply in Greenfield before closing the storefront about a year ago, and he still runs the commercial equipment division of the business. He remains a member of the Greenfield Business Association and the Kiwanis Club.

In Rowe, Baker served a three-year term on the Finance Committee..

“Honestly, I don’t have any grand initiatives for the town,” he said. “I’m good with budgets and numbers. I’m a fair person with high expectations. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, and I call it as I see it. If the town decides to vote me in, I will help improve upon the hard work of others.”

Other positions

Also on the ballot, there is a one-year seat on the Finance Committee, but Susan Gleason is now a write-in candidate for that position.

Town Clerk Kevin Balawick was previously appointed to fill an unexpired term on the Planning Board and is now running for election to a five-year term. Beth Balawick, his wife, is running for the first time for a three-year seat on the School Committee.
