Please come by and see me at Town Hall or give me a call if you have any ques-
tions, concerns or complaints. While we may not always agree, we should be able to dis-
cuss the issues facing our town in a reasonable manner - we work for you and want to know
what you think.  Finally - have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
