Our two broad questions to the candidates: (1) If elected, what initiatives do you plan to bring forward to improve the health and well-being of our community? (2) If elected, what resources to you plan to increase funding for or attempt to bring to town to improve the health and well-being of our community? For example, increase funding to the public library, increase funding to health department, parks, building of sidewalks, grocery stores in underserved areas, less fast food restaurants, more funding for small business loans, treatment options for substance abuse, education.
