Time for Change in Town Leadership

Dear Editor,

I am writing to voice my support for Barry Pease who is running

for one of the two open seats on the Board of Selectmen.  In my

opinion, Barry represents a big piece of the demographic that

is Groton.  He is in his prime working years, has two children

that he is raising along with his wife, and has much energy to

contribute to causes he feels passionate about.  Two of those

causes are the Town of Groton and the education of our children.

Currently, there is no member of the Board of Selectmen who has

children going through the Groton-Dunstable school system.  They

are all past that stage.  I think it is important to have someone

on the board who will represent the "typical families" of Groton.

Barry is very level-headed and has no hidden agendas.  He simply

wants to make Groton the best town it can be.  He is very willing

to listen to new ideas and look at both sides of an issue.  Since

he has been attending the BoS meetings regularly and was on the

Town Meeting Review Study Committee, he has a good understanding

of how town government works.

Currently, four out of our five Selectmen have been selectmen for

years and years and years.  We need new leadership. We need someone

with new ideas and a new perspective. For these reasons, I am supporting

Barry Pease for Selectmen.  I hope that you will join me in supporting

him.  Election Day is May 20.
