Needham! Vote Tuesday, April 9

11AM UPDATES on Town Meeting Recs!:
Precinct H --  2 people would appreciate your WRITE IN VOTE for Town Meeting and would be terrific representatives at Town Meeting:
Karen Han - 34 Grosvenor
Sharmon Priaulx - 483 Great Plain Ave

Dear Friends, I'm quite delayed in organizing my recommendations for Town Elections. I've been working with Stacie organizing around revenue reform, and it's been in high gear for the last week. Unfortunately, it looks like Needham's Representative Denise Garlick is not standing up for progressive reforms. But we'll know later tonight when the actual vote is taken.  Please look here for more information: http://progma.us/JWMHouseVotes

I have been too slammed to hold the ANnual Beer Party and that stinks!!! I hope you will free to contact me if you have questions about the ballot tomorrow; I am ALWAYS happy to offer my opinion! Here is a brief overview of a few candidates who deserve your support on Election Day April 9:
___________________

The big contested race this spring on the Town Ballot is for Planning Board.

I am endorsing Artie Crocker, enthusiastically, for Planning Board.

Artie is just about the hardest worker I know, tirelessly out there for progressive causes and candidates. His commitment to doing what is right, no matter how hard, is inspiring.

On the planning board, his background as a mediator and a mechanical engineer will serve him well on an important Needham board. As importantly, his love for Needham and doing what is best for our community -- for the neighborhoods and the businesses -- is an animating force, and will bring a positive new dimension to the board.

Artie's a terrific guy and will continue to be a tremendous asset to our town when elected to the Planning Board.

Please vote for Artie Crocker, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same!
