Pam Re Elected As Chair

Pam Gets The Job Done!

Tuesday  night I was elected for another one year term as Chair of the Planning Commission.  It has been and continues to be my honor to serve in that capacity.  My unanimous endorsement by my fellow commissioners presents me with an opportunity to address a concern expressed to me by my supporters.  "Pam, would you have to step down from any of your current commitments if elected?"  I have given this great thought and my answer is a resounding "YES".   Granted, I serve the Town in many capacities but I know am  capable of  meeting  my many obligations while at the same time representing Colchester in the Legislature.    I would never shortchange one responsibility for another.  In fact, I happen to believe the ability to serve the residents as a hands on volunteer locally augmented with my participation in the Legislature greatly enhances my contributions.   I believe this is a wonderful opportunity to bring real world on the ground experience to the Chamber and Committees of the House and also translate the complexities of developing legislation back to the committees/commissions and people of Colchester.
