I have been in office for 2 years and it is true that I expect much from our Town employees; I was elected because that was what is expected of me by the taxpayers. A vast majority of our employees deliver on those expectations. Those that don’t may feel being represented by a Union could be helpful to them. Perhaps that is the motivation? Time will tell."
