Tom Keane & Rick Hiland for Selectman

Robert Louf for SB

Jim Hoffman for BC

I think it’s time to see what Jim can bring to the game. We all have seen his wonderful presentations at town meeting, he dedicates his time to go to the meetings and has done his ‘homework.’ I feel bad that the BC will lose Rick Hiland as ultimately it is the BC that sends a budget to the voters to change or approve.

All of these folks have proven to me that they understand the fact that we are in a bad economy and that government in general has to control and/or reduce its spending in order to keep taxes down and the help the people that are really hurting in this economy.

Remember
Increased spending = increased taxes.

Decreased spending = decreased taxes.

Simple math!

Tom Keane is a proven fiscal conservative on the Select Board along with Rick Hiland on the Budget Committee. What more can I say, they both have a proven record.

Then we have Jill Desrochers, an unknown in experienced candidate, but do we need another lawyer on the Select Board? We really need some experience going forward in this economy and not on the job trainees. Was she a Harry Judd and Jack Crisp (both lawyers) tag-along?

The other candidate, Colleen Hunter, was a former director of Celebrating Children. You know the private day care program that was operating under the recreation department (getting free rent, electicity, liability insurance, at taxpayer’s expense approved by the liberal Selectman spenders, Judd, Crisp, Kenison) disguise that was then taken under the selectman at the time and is now a program within the Town’s municipal budget to the tune of $80,000 and growing. That’s correct $80,000!!

This is a small business venture that should rightly be in the private sector and not subsidized by the Bow taxpayers under the disguise of recreation.

They claim it is an educational program. If that is the case it should be in the school budget and not in the recreation budget of the town.

I also understand that many of the participating students are from outside of Bow as well. Our taxes subsidizing non-residents??

This is just like the nationalization of the auto industry right under our own noses here in Bow.

There you have it. Spenders and higher property taxes against non-spenders and lower property taxes.

I personally cannot afford higher taxes in this economy.

Green signs with Kally Abrams and Ginger Fraser named on them must mean green for money and they are big spenders???

Also saw that school spender Pansy Bloomfield has teamed up with Shawn “conflict of interest” Coe on signs going up around town. So I guess that Mr. Coe is a school big spender also. Remember that it was Pansy Bloomfield that insisted a few years back that enrollments were going up and we needed to spend lots of money to build a new middle school. How wrong she was!!

That only leaves Bob Louf who can separate the wants from the needs using common sense approach to future budgets.

My choice is the later to reduce spending and taxes.

Thank you, Tom Keane.
