As a hard-working family man, I know the struggle of raising a family, and the pain of writing that property tax check, but also, as a lifelong resident of Plymouth, I appreciate her beauty, history, and resources, and my goal at Town Meeting is to help ensure that the residents of Plymouth get the services they deserve, the quality of life they deserve, while not causing additional burdens. I plan to do my due diligence and research every article, to make sure each proposal is fair and equitable for the residents, and does not compromise the quality of our town.
