Questions Sought for Williamstown Candidate Forums
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Residents are encouraged to submit questions for a pair of candidate forums in Williamstown on Tuesday.
The Williamstown chapter of the League of Women Voters is hosting the forums for candidates running for two seats on the Select Board and one seat on the Planning Board. League member Jennifer Howlett will be the moderator.
The forums will be held starting at 4 p.m. at Town Hall and will be taped by the town's community access television station, Willinet. The public is invited to attend in person.
Candidates for the Planning Board will appear from 4-6 p.m., followed immediately by the candidates for the Select Board. Candidates will make opening and closing statements, and members of the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions.
The candidates planning to attend are: for Planning Board, Carin DeMayo-Wall and Kenneth Kuttner; and for Select Board, Bilal Ansari, Randall Fippinger and Jane Patton.
Either Kuttner or DeMayo-Wall will be elected on May 10 for a five-year seat on the Planning Board.
There are two seats on the ballot for the Select Board. Incumbent Patton is running for another three-year term. The top two vote-getters among the three candidates on the ballot will be elected to the board.
All questions submitted for Tuesday evening's forums should be addressed to all of the candidates running for a particular office.
Questions can be emailed to Mary Lovvorn at zrobi@hotmail.com.
The League of Women Voters is tentatively planning an April 29 forum via Zoom for the five candidates running for four three-year seats on the Milne Public Library Board of Trustees.
Incumbents Michael Manary, Bridget Spann and Timothy Cherubini are on the ballot along with Robin Lenz and Hale Polebaum-Freeman.
