Relevant Experience 9-year Member of Board of Assessors, 45-year practicing private attorney, 40-year Town resident
I am volunteering for a 4th 3-year term on the Board of Assessors. The Board's duties include implementation of state tax laws and technical regulations. My prior experience as an attorney and current Board Member again qualify me for the position. My top priorities are acting fairly for all the Town's taxpayers, and guiding the Chief Assessor and department staff to achieve compliance with the law and regulations and collecting data timely and accurately.
