Subject: Sun Supports Incumbents in Both Races Author: Shawn [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:06:31 04/30/04 Fri Board of Selectmen O'Loughlin and DiTillio Dracut residents have come to expect government leaders to make sound decisions that will improve the town without bankrupting it. Today, despite fiscal difficulties, signs of progress abound in the schools, in public safety and in other municipal services. The town boasts two new fire stations, an expanded high school and a junior high, all put in place without overrides. Ground has been broken on new library and soon a new police department project will follow. These accomplishments came through careful planning and fiscal controls. When Dracut voters go to the polls on Tuesday, May 3, they should look at the outstanding record and reward the people who've worked to build it. Board of Selectmen incumbents Jim O'Loughlin and Jack DiTillio have done their part over the past three years and deserve recognition. They are responsible, experienced leaders who share progressive ideas. Challenges still lie ahead for Dracut, as evidenced by a projected revenue shortfall in the 2005 budget. The prudent course is for the town to stick with leaders willing to set priorities and make the tough decisions. That's why O'Loughlin and DiTillio, with a combined 21 years of municipal service, stand out as the best choices to get the job done. The Sun supports the re-election of Jim O'Loughlin and Jack DiTillio to Dracut's Board of Selectmen. School Committee Campbell and Paquette When Dracut voters go to the polls Monday, May 3, they would be wise to continue the leadership of School Committee incumbents Joseph Campbell and May Paquette. Despite financial constraints in recent years, public schools have shown positive growth and academic improvement. Campbell and Paquette share in the credit for that. Campbell and Paquette haven't always agreed on issues, yet they've worked well together on behalf of parents and students. They value strategic planning, fiscal accountability, and high educational standards. They believe a quality school system is one of the town's greatest assets. Both champion greater communication with parents and community and support School Superintendent Elaine Espindle's handling of school and budgetary affairs. Campbell is running for his fourth term on the school board while Paquette is seeking her third. Voters would be wise to retain their leadership and experience. The Sun urges Dracut residents to re-elect Joseph Campbell and May Paquette to the school board. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
