BOARD OF SELECTMEN
EXPERIENCE
ENTHUSIASM
Dear Neighbor:
On November 6, my name will be on the ballot for a position on the Burlington Board of Selectmen. My experience on various boards and enthusiasm for the town led me to run for office – believing that informed and involved citizens lead to responsible, accessible local government that works for its residents.
My wife and I were attracted to the rural community that is Burlington more than 30 years ago. During that time, we have built our own house, started our own business and raised three children. We hope that the same experiences can be enjoyed by our children and others in this community.
Preserving the unique rural character of Burlington would be one of my goals on the board of selectmen. That rural character is defined not only by the physical beauty of our surroundings but also by the sense of community that embraces the residents of the town. It is a community where residents sincerely believe the town government is working hard to serve all by…
- attracting appropriate small town economic development to relieve the burden on residential property owners
- providing services and programs to encourage seniors to stay in town
- insuring that all boards and commissions are accessible and responsive to residents
- seeking state and federal grants to help accomplish these goals.
… working for a better Burlington.
The combination of my personal dedication to the town, the knowledge gained through years of service in local government and skills of a successful businessman has given me the knowledge base that allows me to offer the people of Burlington a responsive, accessible town government serving the residents of Burlington. I would appreciate your vote on November 6 - and would welcome the opportunity to be your voice on the Board of Selectmen.
Sincerely yours,
Richard Miller
