Why should Webster vote for you on May 6th?
I care deeply about the community, I believe during my 18 years on the Board of Selectmen I have treated everyone with respect and always done what I feel what’s best for the community.
Some accomplishments include: I proposed and fought for creation of a new recreational director, went to Beacon Hill and received approval of 5 new liquor licenses for Webster’s Downtown area. For many years I donated my Board of Selectmen Salary to various town veterans organizations. I brought attention to problems at North Village apartments which resulted in new police patrols and a 4 million dollar improvement program. I created a program and received national attention to address absentee landlords of abandoned and foreclosed properties in Webster. I supported the sale of the AJ Sitkowski School for senior living and a new Senior Center. I supported a full time building inspector, I proposed a program to protect children from sex offenders and I believe our most important vote was to bring a new town administrator to Webster. This vote was not popular with some people but it was the right decision.
