with all kidding aside, I ran for many different positions, filled them, and would never go back to it again,.. I've been more than turned off by local politics and the corrupt. I didn't do everything right as people expected me to vote, didn't go out of my way to do things wrong either, lost 6 old friends, gained 6 new ones at the same time, and never once got involved in the many "back room, cigar smoking" private meetings that went on.. Being a selectman of a town in not something easy to do or complete.. It would have been a hundred times easier and probably would have been more rewarding if the odds were more even.,. To run as a republican, one of only 16 registered in the town verses 1100 democrats will make an old man of you.. believe me when I say this.. |
