Hello Mr. Flint, Could you please tell us a bit more about the direction you would take the Planning Board and how that is different from the direction it is currently headed in? There are two seats open on the Board and two incumbents running for re-election for those seats. Presumably you are running because you believe we need to head in a new direction, correct? I'd love to hear more about the actual policy differences among the 3 candidates for Planning Board so that I can make an informed decision tomorrow.
Thank you!
