To Rochester Residents:
I wanted to clear the air and clarify recent statements in the press as to why I resigned from the Rochester Personnel Board this past year. First and foremost, it was not in any way associated with an article not being passed at last year’s town meeting as stated. I have served the Town of Rochester on several boards in the past 25 years, ten on the Personnel Board, ten plus on the Board of Directors for the Plumb Library and currently on the Rochester Country Fair Board of Directors. I also co-coordinate the annual Adam Taylor Memorial Bike Run. I have and will continue to give back to the community in which I live and am proud to be a part of; I’m just scaling down on my commitments.
To have statements in the press that imply I resigned because I didn’t get my way is ridiculous and insulting. To have Town Officials give incorrect information to the public is uncalled for and unprofessional.
I’ve said my two cents….
