Letter: Oleskiewicz Endorses Macksey for Mayor

To the editor:

Please join me in support of Jennifer Macksey for mayor of the City of North Adams.

After working closely with her over the last two terms as a sitting City Council member, I am proud of all that has been accomplished and am very much looking forward to the future and what is yet to be achieved. Her dedication to the city is unwavering. As past chair of Public Services, I like to go out on site to visit our hard-working crews and express my thanks. I am not surprised when I see her there doing the same. Appreciation goes a long way.

The city is in forward motion with many things that have been on the to-do list that have either been checked off or
are in motion. Dating back three mayors, the final stage is complete with the building of a new Greylock School, the Brown Street bridge will be open by early winter, there are two conceptual plans for the Veterans [Memorial] Bridge, belvedere work is being done at the North Adams Public Library, RFP was complete to sell off Sullivan School, our Police Department is in an ADA-compliant space, the list goes on.

She has not sat idly by, as some say. Jennifer is a "Do-er." When Jen first ran for mayor I did support the other candidate, who I still think would have done a fabulous job as well. Over the last four years, a fabulous working relationship was built and I have the fullest confidence in Jennifer running our great city and moving forward on some great future plans.

We may not agree on everything, and have had some yelling matches, but when we are done, we say "next" and move on. So please join me in casting your vote for the future of North Adams: Jennifer Macksey for mayor.

Pete Oleskiewicz
North Adams City Councilor
