LETTER: Former Selectman Endorses Miceli, Lyons

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in support of both Jim Miceli and Jim Lyons for State Representative.  I have known Jim Miceli for a long time.  I met Jim Lyons about 3 months ago when he was going door-to-door through my neighborhood.

When I was on the Board of Selectmen my Number One complaint was that the Cities and Towns were NOT getting their fair share of Local Aid.  Time and time again I saw jobs being created at the State Level and monies that should have been coming to Tewksbury being siphoned off for more and more administrative and non-productive jobs.

That is why I am endorsing both Jim Miceli and Jim Lyons for State Rep in Tewksbury.  Both men are committed to forcing the State to provide more Local Aid to its Towns.   Almost every member of our community has a story on how Jim Miceli has helped them, or someone they know, or a family member.  Jim Miceli has ALWAYS been there for Tewksbury and I truly believe we need to be there for him.

Talking with Jim Lyons he is also committed to helping our town get more local aid.  He is a Tewksbury businessman and obviously has a vested interest in the success of our Community.

Both men have made a commitment that when they return to Beacon Hill in January they will file legislation to get additional dollars for Tewksbury to reduce the impact of our current sewer rates.  I firmly believe they will do what they have committed to.

Please vote for Jim Miceli and Jim Lyons (precincts 3 & 3A) on Tuesday November 6, 2012

Sincerely yours,

Jerry Selissen
