Written by Interested in how two of the candidates running for Clinton Select Board stand on the issues but pressed for time? I broke down the recent candidates night by topic so you can jump to the issues that matter most to you.
Election Day in Clinton is Monday, June 8, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
If you like this post or anything else about my campaign for Clinton Select Board, please share with your friends. Monday is just days away so now, more than ever, we need to spread the word.
Intro and opening statements:
What sets you apart from the other candidates, and what else in your background makes you the perfect candidate for this office?
There are some large issues on the June 1 town meeting warrant, from the important business of setting the town budget to paying for capital items and the new library, but getting the word out is hard. How would you encourage people to attend this meeting and vote?
Do you support the new library project?
What would you like to do to encourage more participation in town government and more voter education?
The current Select Board is often divided. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of common ground. How do you bring the board together and push through the important business this town needs to accomplish to move into the future?
What are your thoughts on how to work with and manage the incoming town administrator?
How does the town meet its infrastructure needs with the money available?
Housing is a major concern throughout the state. How can the town help add housing while maintaining the town’s character and also provide the services a growing population demands?
How do you address the issues, both real and perceived, for downtown and move downtown into the future with the limited resources Clinton has?
Closing statements.
Sean Kerrigan, Clinton Select Board
