Thanks. Let the Conversation Begin

To those who by their votes showed a tremendous appetite for charter review, I say a loud thanks. To those who took the time to add my name to a very distinguished roster of Commissioners, also, thank you. My position throughout the election campaign has been to talk about the principles of good and effective governance. From this point forward, those principles will serve as the foundation for my efforts on behalf of the community.

Over then next several weeks, the Charter Commission will convene and set up a framework for the task ahead. We will identify a chair and co-chair. We will formally report out in 45 days.

I hope to continue this blog as part of an effort to be transparent. Soon, a disclaimer will appear near the heading, similar to the one that can be found on my School Committee blog, Newburyport Schools. It will let you know that anything I write simply represents my own opinion, and should not be construed as representative of the Charter Commission as a whole.

This is pretty exciting; I feel very honored to be working with such a neat and thoughtful group of community members.
