Enterprising People Might Influence Local Candidates
July 7, 2009 by David Eggleton
Recently in my (snail) mailbox were first appeals for support and votes from mayoral candidates in Woburn. Their presence and my need to write again prompted me to begin thinking about the parts a mayor and a city council could play in fostering the steady development of a healthy local economy. Given the roller coaster of the past eighteen months and uncertainties about the next eighteen, this would be a good year to ask candidates about their inclinations, if not their plans, in this regard. If they have none, they can start getting some now or take their (and our) chances.
If you've read this far, you can easily encourage any/all of them to exceed the tired "I'd have handled that differently for these reasons, so project that into your future and vote for me" by commenting here. While you're at it, what do you know about starting and running a business in Woburn that our elected local officials could improve? Make it something they all know! Let's all hear the proposals with which they respond.
Could this be the season and topic that brings this forum to life?
