Good to Go

I dropped off the nomination papers this morning, making me an o-fficial candidate. I feel so Jimmy Stewarty.

Anyway, here the list of candidates for YOUR Charter Review Commission. These are folks who have turned in papers and still intend to run. (One candidate apparently pulled out after returning papers.)

Olga S. MacFarlane, 6 Clipper Way
Cynthia S. Muir, 10 Hancock St.
Alexander Z. Warren, 8 Maple St.
David R. Clarridge, 15R Bromfield St., #2
Paul M. Bevilacqua, 126 Merrimac St., Unit 3
Thomas Tolman Lyons, 8 Oak St.
Douglas A. Locy, 17 Alberta Ave
Shelia A. Mullins, 7 Parsons St.
James A. Stiles, 28 Strong St.
Bruce L. Vogel, 28 Myrtle Ave.
Kenneth A. Woods, 18 Temple St.
Steven P. Cole, 8 Hallissey Drive
Kathleen E. Bailey, 109 WinterWater St.
Bruce M. Menin, 83 Lime St.

So we've got two sitting school committee members (Menin and Cole,) a former City Councilor (Vogel); former planning board chairman (Locy) and mayoral candidate (Stiles.) I still think a former mayor would have been a nice touch, but ah well.

Eight others have pulled out papers but haven't return them yet, or at least haven't done so with enough signatures to qualify. I know Hugh Kelleher, 8 Summit Place, one of the early advocates for Charter Review, is collecting signatures and intends to run.

So we're looking at at least 15 candidates, a good sign. Could be close to 20 if we get the majority of the eight outstanding.
