Gorham select board candidate: Judith LeBlanc

Town elections are on Tuesday, March 9, and I am again running for the position of selectman. I, first of all would like to thank everyone for their support over the past three years and hope that you will continue to support me through the next three years.

The past three years have been a challenge with a tax rate of $36.51/$1,000 property valuation in 2018. This was initially my motivation for my interest in the position on the board of selectman. Since then, the tax rate has been reduced by $4.66/$1,000. This has been accomplished without reducing the services the taxpayers want and expect. With the cooperation of department heads we were able to stabilize the department budgets and improve on the existing services.
