Acton TV producer, Vivian K Birchall interviewed me in my position as chair of Acton Board of Selectmen on her show ‘Acton in Focus’.

Vivian asked me about many issues currently facing the town: K-Mart parcel; Budgets; Taxes; Race and my personal experiences. It’s a tough time to be an elected official. We are working our way through the second year of a pandemic and coming to terms with the sensitive and complex issue of race. The uncertainties of daily life continue with the hope we will be in a better place this time next year.
