Tabit will make difference, support education
Editor, Townsman:
Showing public support of a candidate or expressing my political beliefs publicly has never been something I have done. Writing this letter is out of character for me.
However, I decided to weigh in because I strongly support Sal Tabit in the upcoming election to represent the 17th Essex District in Massachusetts as state representative.
My husband and I have lived in Andover for over 25 years. We have four children who all attend the Andover public school system. Our most pressing issue to date is where Andover is heading in the area of education. The increasing class sizes and the cutting of important classes and programs are affecting the top quality education that we thought we could give our children by staying in the Andover public schools. We know how deeply Tabit feels about this issue and how vigilant he will be fighting for that top quality education we expect to provide our children by paying taxes here.
My husband and I met Tabit many years ago. We have come to know him as a smart, hard working, honest and caring person. By electing Tabit, the people of our district will have a strong leader who will fight against tax increases, help manage our health-care system, prevent cuts to local aid, and reform our state's pension system, while keeping education a top priority.
A change is needed. Tabit will get the job done.
