Candidate Letter to the Papers

I will out of Town next week and I'm unsure whether or not the papers will run my letter, so I will post it here:

Dear Residents of Easton,
I am seeking your vote for a seat on the Board of Selectmen on April 27th. I am a graduate of Stonehill College and returned to Easton with my family four years ago to make this town our home. I am also a graduate of Xaverian Brothers High School where I work part time. I volunteer for Meals on Wheels and Catholic Charities here in Easton and serve on the Board of the Friends of Frothingham Hall. Through my weekly service to members of our community I see firsthand the needs of our neighbors and decided to become more involved. Given my background in finance, I sought a position on the Finance Committee where we have endeavored to keep our town functional during these difficult economic times. As a member of the Board of Selectmen I will maintain my strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and measured use of taxpayer dollars. I look forward to the prospect of serving the town in this greater role and would truly appreciate your vote.
Sincerely,
Sean T. Noonan

Thanks for your support, and your vote on Tuesday, April 27th!

Link to Enterprise Article on the Redesign of the intersection of Prospect and Foundry Streets

Please take a moment and read this article on the redesign of the intersection of Prospect and Foundry Streets here in Easton. I am very glad to hear that a warrant article for this year’s Town Meeting is being crafted and I would encourage everyone to support the article.
Prior to my delivering for Meals on Wheels, I had never had to use the crossover from Prospect to Prospect via the Foundry Street intersection. Now that I am a weekly user, I can tell you that making that crossing is largely an act of faith at certain times of the day.

Call to residents of Easton to attend Special Town Meeting on April 5th.

As you are probably aware, the Shovel Shop Redevelopment proposal will go to Special Town Meeting on April 5th. No matter what your current opinion of the proposal is, I would like to encourage everyone in town to attend the meeting, listen to both sides of the argument and make your own voice heard! In the buildup to the STM, there will be many opportunities to read about and learn more about the details of this very complex project. There are many articles and discussions available on enterprisenews.com, wickedlocal.com/easton/, eastonmass.com, and the Town’s own website at http://bit.ly/91bP8r and http://bit.ly/br5jZL. You really owe it to yourself to learn about the issues, because no matter what the outcome of the votes on April 5th, there will be long-term impacts for the Town. The actual warrant articles have not yet been drafted, but once they are available, I will post them here.
