~ Political Announcement ~ Vincent Serino seeks Charter Commission seat

My Name is Vincent Serino and I am running for Charter Commission. I have been in this town my whole life; I am the fourth generation in Saugus and I hope to have my children and grandchildren live here. I am running for the charter commission because I care about this town and its residents. I think we need to come together as a town and stop this continued us versus them mentality. I talk to a lot of people and officials in other communities and always get asked about what’s going on in Saugus. We need to look at what’s in the best interest of the residents and stakeholders of this town.

Our current form of government allows many residents to participate whether on boards or in elected positions. We have a town meeting that represents different areas in town. This is so all voices can be heard not a select few. Our current form of government has many checks and balances to prevent one official from running and or bankrupting Saugus.

If you have questions, get on the State website and research for yourself, call the secretary of state office. Chapter 43B (malegislature.gov)

As for an elected Town Administrator, administrators are appointed (unless a town/city is under receivership like Chelsea, different issue) and the Town Board serves as the executive branch or there is a mayor (elected)/council dynamic.

So really at the end of the day, it’s about becoming a city or staying a town. It’s up to the voters to decide.
