When we think of January, we automatically think of the new year.
Some of us are in football play-off mode. With the Patriots playing perfect so far. it is quite the change of football team I watched as a young kid back in the seventies. ( I'm sure many can relate.)
This January is New Hampshire's month to pick a Presidential Candidate. With all the TV ads and the phone calls and attention from nationally recognized politicians, it will be a welcome and strange feeling to see them move on to other states.
and then.... Hopefully we can understand the importance of electing our local government body.
January is the time for anyone willing to commit to helping the town and the taxpayers with governing of our town. This is time of year when citizens come up and say they are willing to spend time helping our town "get it right."
We have two council seats and two school board seats that are up for election in March.
Lets talk about the council seats right now.
The two councilors whom their terms expire are: Councilor Craig Bulkley and Councilor Bev Ferrante. Bulkley is a councilor at large and Ferrante is District #3 councilor.
At this time, I can tell you that Councilor Bulkley has decided not to run. After 14 years in local politics and being a town administrator, Councilor Bulkley has given of his time, knowledge and expertise for many years and I wish to thank him and his family for the sacrifice of many years for the benefit of the town. This speaks volumes of the kind of person Mr Bulkley is and I am glad I had a chance to serve with him as town councilor.
Running for his seat of Councilor at Large will be someone who has just as much passion and knowledge of this town.
Mr.Brad Benson owner of Benson's Hardware.
And in District 3 at this point only one name as surfaced and the rumor has it that Doug Newell will run in this district. ( this rumor has been known as soon as the ADT proposal for Elderly Exemptions came out.)
Stay tuned for more on the candidates emerging to take a run at local politics.
Should be a good one!

Bulkley has served the community very well. He has been great as chair. Its too bad he gets attacked for maintaining discipline at the meetings. He will be missed.
