FinCom chair thanks town boards for successful ATM

Dear Editor:

I wanted to take a moment to recognize the commitment that the town officials of Canton have to the well being of the town. As many of you know, town meeting can be a very contentious time as boards work hard to present their views of our best course of action as a community. Often, in preparation and on town meeting floor, we disagree on the best route. This can sometimes lead to hard feelings and worse, a lack of future communication.

In a continued display of solidarity, members of the School Committee, Finance Committee, Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Capital Planning Committee (as well as some great town employees who help us do our jobs) met at the Suffolk Grille on Wednesday night for the third annual Town Meeting After Party. We came together, laughed, and toasted to a successful town meeting.

In my three years on the Finance Committee, I’ve seen an improvement in communication between our boards, and I attribute this to our collective efforts to open lines of communication early and often. To everyone who attended: Thank you and I look forward to working together to keep Canton a wonderful place to live!

Sincerely,

Mark J Porter, CFP

Chairman, Finance Committee
