Dear Editor,
The voters have a choice for State Representative this coming November and I hope you will join me in supporting David Muradian. He is the obvious choice, with his many years of proven experience, and a platform based on fiscal responsibility.
The most important issue facing our communities is bringing back more local aid to support our schools and fund our roads and infrastructure. The town of Grafton recently passed an override and the town of Northbridge did not. No matter what side of either of the overrides you were on, the fact remains that both school districts needed extra funds. David has made local aid his number one priority. He has assured me that he will work diligently to secure funds that should be coming to our district to fund our schools and roads.
We need a Representative that will be accountable for every vote. Last year the Legislature voted to tie the gas tax to inflation. David Muradian is against this and feels that it is a Representative’s responsibility to be accountable and vote for any tax increase. He is the only candidate with this stance in the race. If our Representative is not going to be accountable for their vote then why should they be representing us? Why should we send them to Beacon Hill? Join me in voting for David Muradian for State Representative so our communities receive the representation we deserve!

I have not heard David take a stance on ANY issue and cannot understand how people could support that lack of committment. Interesting that the one issue mentioned here is already a ballot question so we have a voice on that issue – ourselves.
