"I have lived in the Town of Pembroke
since 1947. 1 have experienced many of
the slow periods that our town has had in
the past in trying to get our town moving
in a direction where we could have the
growth and development that we are
experiencing today.
"1 feel that each administration for the
past 35 years has played a great role in
making this town become a reality in its
growth and improvements. The town has
many projects that are still lacking in
improvements and need attention today.
1 realize the economy has affected our
town just as it has affected other towns
throughout the nation, but I do believe
that the town's government should
concentrate on the areas of the town
where the most needs are in spending its
money and not just the wants.
"I believe in better town government,
and if I am elected on Tuesday, Nov. 8,
