BRATTLEBORO — Last year I wrote a letter in support of Elizabeth McLoughlin for a one-year seat on the Brattleboro Selectboard. This year I am pleased to be writing a similar letter in support of her candidacy for a three-year seat on the board.
During her first year on the Board, Liz voted for the 1-percent local-option sales tax at Representative Town Meeting, voted for the rental inspection program, and supported all four collective bargaining agreements with town employees (union and non-union), among other actions.
Liz has been a voice of reason and a calming presence on the board, which has grappled with some vexing issues that have challenged the business community and citizens of Brattleboro and Windham County.
I strongly support Liz for the three-year seat on the Selectboard.
