To the editor:
As we approach our Dalton town elections on Monday, I write to encourage residents to vote for Antonio “Tony” Pagliarulo for Select Board. My conclusion from attending both evening sessions of town meeting is that Dalton voters are looking for change—and that Tony will provide the change that they seek.
Tony is aware of the financial stress that many Dalton homeowners currently experience and has advanced new town policies that will provide tax relief. As a volunteer and elected member of town committees over decades as a Dalton resident, Tony is also aware of town problems that have persisted for years—and will tackle those issues through innovative approaches.
Tony hopes to ease current voter frustration with the status quo by proposing a town charter project (i.e., a “constitution” for Dalton) and a Select Board policy manual that will provide a code of ethics for our town leaders. If elected, he will immediately set to work helping to resolve the sand mining pollution crisis that plagues Dalton neighborhoods and constitutes a health and safety threat for our entire town.
Because Tony knows Dalton and its residents—and has the best interests of the town as his goal—he will make a terrific Select Board member. Please join me in voting for change on Monday, May 12. Vote for Tony Pagliarulo.
