Seven people submitted validated petitions to appear as candidates for town council in the next local election set for June 29.
However, as of the deadline last week, only six had signed the requisite town hall log to appear on the ballot.
Running for town council will be incumbents Steve Lazo, Richard Logan and Catherine Nickolla. They will be joined by former councilors David Langevin, Darlene Marcucci and former acting police chief Gary Fontaine.
Absent from the list of candidates, despite having submitted the required number of signatures, will be former councilor Albert D. (“Apple”) Vecchia, Jr.
Suffice it to say that this is not the first time that this town has seen a campaign waged through anonymous letters. I can only hope that, as the old saying goes, “Those who cannot learn history are doomed to repeat it.”
Jeepers, I wonder who could be behind such a dastardly task? Who do we all know that likes to "write" letters?
ReplyDeleteOnly 6 this year? The last 2 years there have been 9. This should be interesting but sadly I have a feeling the 3 TC's will be voted back in.
ReplyDeleteGrace House is closing but on the flip side we have more police officers in Southbridge. Like that means anything.
ReplyDeleteMake your voices heard at the Town Election June 29th. Vote for anyone else but who is running.
