I am running for re-election to the Select Board because I believe that Plymouth needs proactive and thoughtful leadership with a forward-looking plan to guide our Town into a more sustainable, inclusive, and economically vibrant future. I am a local attorney and lifelong Plymouth resident who wants to continue to give back to the community […]

The Van Cott plea deal astounds me. This man has abused his position and stolen from Plymouth taxpayers and school children for years, to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Now he is being given a “deal” that allows him his freedom after just a year of incarceration? He is correct in stating […]

Having moved to Plymouth in September 2020 from the North Shore, I may be a relative newcomer here, but I am a lifelong resident of the Commonwealth and well-acquainted with our unique form of government. I’ve noticed that while Plymouth is growing rapidly, many of our neighbors—especially those from out of state—may not fully grasp […]

Let’s nip the negative Spring town election lawn signs in the bud. The ones we have seen are not only negative, but they are also personal. Instead let’s campaign for people and ideas.  Let’s follow the guiding principles for Plymouth town staff and elected/appointed officials introduced by the Select Board Chair Muratore in 2012 and […]

Earth Month is great a time to remind ourselves that meaningful change happens in our neighborhoods through local action and community collaboration. Sustainable Plymouth, an all-volunteer nonprofit founded in 2019, is one representation of the town’s enthusiasm for promoting and protecting our natural resources. At the organization’s annual meeting in January, a member shared his […]

While the developers make huge money the long-term residents are stuck with the increased costs of fire, police, road maintenance, sewage and water infrastructure demands. The town government wants development. The long-term residents […]
