Written by MRTC on September 12th, 2007Kim Phillips of the Journal-Inquirer has a piece out today about the Republican candidates for the Board of Directors. Among the highlights:
”The three-pronged pledge is the first plank in the Republican platform, they said Monday after unveiling what they call a “Covenant with Manchester Taxpayers.”“I believe we need to treat all of Manchester’s citizens fairly,” candidate Jeff Beckman said. “And that means listening to them at the beginning of every meeting and not making people wait until 11 p.m. or later to talk about the issues that matter to them.”"

Candidate Mark Tweedie agreed: “With taxes never seeming to do anything other than constantly rise, we have to bring some common sense back to town government.”"
