Last year we supported Gus Benavides for a seat on the Board of Selectmen. He promised to ask questions and consider all input before rendering decisions. For whatever reasons, Gus hasn't really been able to have a crack at everything that he would like try here in Gilford as a member of the Board. We think it's worth trying it his way, and see if there's a different way of managing and delivering municipal services in Gilford-- or at least provide oversight with a degree of questioning to satisfy the citizens that we are indeed getting the most bang for our bucks.

To that end, Gus has publicly asked that voters choose John Goodhue to help him in his efforts, and Skip and I are willing to join him achieve that goal. We will be supporting Mr. Goodhue this coming Tuesday, and encourage everybody to do the same. As a long time Gilford resident, always active within the town and its government, John provides a solid foothold both in Gilford's proud and traditional past and in the present as well. There will be no "on the job training" for Mr. Goodhue-- he will know how to be one of our Selectmen from day one. While we have not always agreed with John Goodhue on every issue, and probably won't each and every time once he's our Selectman, we trust that at the end of the day he will do what he thinks is in the best interest of Gilford. John Goodhue is a known quantity, and what you see is what you get. We think a Board of Selectmen that includes a Gus Benavides, a Connie Grant, and a John Goodhue is one that will serve the citizens of Gilford in a way our present times require.

Vote John Goodhue for Selectman!
