McLoughlin: level-headed, rational governance

BRATTLEBORO-I will vote once again for Elizabeth McLoughlin for Brattleboro Selectboard. She has worked very hard for the town in various roles. She does not balk at dealing with challenging issues, and she does her best to consider everyone’s concerns.

With challenging times and issues, I am uncomfortable with well-intentioned people who have “concepts of a plan” for how to approach problems but nothing solid. I want level-headed, rational governance.

As a professional planner, Elizabeth approaches challenges methodically, thoroughly, and carefully. She has served our town well and will continue to do so.
