Next Saturday, April 5, I will be happy to place my vote to Re-Elect Dan Dunn for Arlington\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Board of Selectmen. I was introduced to Dan during his initial run for a seat on Board three years ago, and have been very impressed with his work ever since.<\/p>\n
First and foremost, Dan is a good listener.<\/strong> He is not a pure ideologue and weighs all sides of an issue before making decisions on important policies and projects. I have attended numerous Selectmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s meetings and other events in which Dan has spoken in official capacity and find him extremely thoughtful and articulate.<\/p>\n Dan has been a good financial steward of the Town\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resources<\/strong>. Though fiscally prudent, he understands that constraints in state funding and our low commercial tax base mean that the community must sometimes dig a little deeper to keep Arlington\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s schools strong. He was an active supporter of the 2011 Override vote and a three-year budget plan that has helped to maintain our excellent public schools.<\/p>\n Last but not least, Dan looks at one of our sometimes-forgotten assets\u00e2\u20ac\u201dour public streets<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthrough a lens that recognizes the importance of a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Complete Streets\u00e2\u20ac\u009d approach. His multi-year support for the Mass Ave Corridor reconstruction project shows his commitment to making neighborhoods and business districts safer places to walk, bike and take transit. Based on this and all of the above, voting to re-elect Dan Dunn is key to maintaining our high quality of life in Arlington.<\/p>\n Phil Goff<\/strong> Published in the Arlington Advocate 3\/17\/14<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phil Goff <\/strong> writes that Dan weighs all sides of an issue before making decisions, provides prudent fiscal leadership, and understands that public streets must be safe for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1840"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1844,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1840\/revisions\/1844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
