An Election Reflection

A citizen's job doesn't stop after leaving the voting booth

It’s been voted that the minority shouldn’t burden the majority.  The Town’s financial burden seems the biggest obstacle. 

I will abide with the result of Question 2.  But I must, at the same time, continue the work necessary to preserve acceptable health and living conditions for all residents of Falmouth. 

I take this challenge remembering the ASHUMET POND wellwater contamination issue, remembering the SIDER'S POND dirty watermain issue.  Like water problems in the community of years past, I will work towards bringing the community together, so that they may stand and fight for acceptable health and living conditions for ALL residents.

Whether water contamination or noise pollution, the root issue is an injustice to basic tenets our community once ascribed to, and God willing, may once again (no matter the cost).  

The NO vote Tuesday, with all due respect to the 66%, is a bump in the road on the journey to returning basic principals of decency back into focus.
