Letter: Planning Board Candidate Carin DeMayo-Wall
 |
To the Editor:
I am writing in support of Carin DeMayo-Wall for Planning Board. I believe that her connection to and ongoing involvement in our town and our issues makes her the best person for the job.
Carin runs a family farm, so she knows the issues of farmers. She and her family rent apartments, so she knows the issues of people who can't find "affordable" housing in town. She has seen some of those families leave town, because they can not find affordable housing. She has worked for 30 years at the Williamstown food pantry, so she knows the issues of our citizens who find it hard to make ends meet. Not only does she have children in our school system, she herself was educated in Williamstown, including Williams College.
Carin has the ability to balance open space, farming and opportunities for housing in our community. She understands the importance of not only keeping members in our community but welcoming new members as well. Carin supports zoning that provides inclusivity for all.
With her depth of community involvement she knows problems exist. She is pragmatic and won't be distracted by calls for studies that can delay progress. She sees these problems first hand, and supports the community in many ways with her ongoing involvement in, and commitment to Williamstown.
Please join me in voting for Carin DeMayo-Wall on May 10.
