As the Groton-Dunstable...
Wanted: One Select Board member who is a critical thinker, has proven experience in all facets of town government, and whose only agenda is to do what is in the best interest of all Groton citizens.

Once again, Groton voters have a choice for this year's Select Board race. I write to express my strong support for Craig Bennett.
Craig presently has two girls at GD. One can therefore expect he will support the schools as appropriate. However, Craig is a working man and he is aware...
