Lyons is businessman, new face state needs
Editor, Townsman:
Why the uproar and discontent over our political incumbents? Perhaps the answer is; high taxes, ignoring their constituency, excessive spending on out-of-control entitlements, and failure to deliver on campaign promises.
We the people, hoping for change in a positive direction, have been left flapping in the wind waiting for a turn around in our economy.
Our Massachusetts State House needs a face lift or, better yet, a new face. A face that will work for the people. A face that will be ever present, on the floor of the State House, who is willing to vote for all of the constituents within the 18th District of Andover, Boxford, Georgetown, Haverhill, Methuen and North Andover. A face of the people and not of the special interest groups that seek to push their agendas. I believe the new face, who will make a difference on Beacon Hill, is Jim Lyons.
Lyons started his small business from scratch, by selling flowers on the street corners, and he helped it bloom into a thriving, going concern. Small business is the backbone of our economy. He stayed with his business, Dandi-Lyons, through the good times and the lean times. He never quit and became successful through his hard work and dedication.
Lyons will bring to the State House that same hard work ethic, dedication, business experience and understanding of what it takes to create, budget and run a business. He will work hard to ensure the business of state government will be effective and efficient.
If you believe as I do, that it is time for a new hard-working face in our legislature, then please support Jim Lyons to be our 18th District representative.
