LETTER: Meuse Is Effective On The Shawsheen Tech School Committee

Reader says Meuse is a proven leader.

To the Editor: I am writing in support of Patricia Meuse for re-election to the Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical School Committee. She has represented Tewksbury in this position for the past 18 years and has realized many accomplishments during that time. One example would be her work as Chair of the Curriculum Subcommittee where Shawsheen’s MCAS scores were of the highest in the state for student improvement. Ninety-eight percent of the students graduate within four years. I have known Patricia for over 20 years. Our children have grown up together and we have collaborated on many projects. In addition to her leadership in the school committee work, she has partnered with me to run many church events through the Catholic …

LETTER: Polimeno Has Their Votes on April 6

Readers say that Polimeno takes strong stands on issues she believes in.

Dear Tewksbury Voters, As we look at all the candidates this election season, there is one that stands out for the office she is vying for. Krissy Polimeno has clearly demonstrated that she deserves another 3 years as a School Committee member. In her first term, she was instrumental with the transition of a new superintendent, business manager and most importantly our new Tewksbury Memorial High School. The elevation to Chairperson in her second year speaks volumes of the respect she so quickly garnered from her peers for not only her strong stance on issues she believes in, but also her openness to hear out all the issues. After many months of negotiations, her chair oversaw a 3 year contract with the teachers union ending the …

LETTER: Johnson Has Earned His Vote For Board of Selectmen

Reader says Johnson is a "clear thinker, straight talker and effective problem solver."

To the Editor: I am pleased to support Todd Johnson’s candidacy for re-election to the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen.  As a former legislative aide, I have paid close attention to how Todd carries out his responsibilities as a Selectman.  I strongly believe that he has the experience, common sense and talent necessary to represent all the constituencies in our town as he approaches decisions that challenge the Board of Selectmen. In particular, I have observed Todd’s demeanor and ability to bring people together to compromise on sensitive issues.  He is a clear thinker, straight talker and effective problem solver. During Todd’s time as Chair of the Finance Committee, he became intimately familiar with the budget needs, issues, and …

LETTER: Polimeno Has Earned Another Term on School Committee

Readers say Polimeno has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

To the Editor: The purpose of this letter is to support one of the finest public servants that we have witnessed in our time in the Town of Tewksbury.  Honesty, integrity, work-ethic, commitment, and dedication are the best words to describe Krissy Polimeno.  Krissy has gone above and beyond the call of duty during her tenure on the Tewksbury School Committee.  Last year, Krissy led a small group of hard-working individuals to organize the Town-Wide Auction event. This was perhaps the most successful fundraiser in the history of our town and all of our schools benefitted.  This event is just one major example of the quality of leadership that Krissy has shown as well as her ability to think “outside the box”. Another reason to support …

Jim has constantly demonstrated an interest in meeting with people from a variety of perspectives and an ability to communicate his own thoughts and approaches. This was prevalent through his work with the new high school project as an extremely active participant in the new Tewksbury High School Community Outreach Team. He demonstrates strong leadership skills, coupled with common sense and integrity.  These assets have served him …
