“This list is comprehensive and demonstrates the commitment that we Democrats have to the town of Manchester,” said Director Dave Sheridan, “It is a further reminder that we are committed to solving difficult concerns and, perhaps most importantly, have focused our efforts on quality of life and service-related issues.”
Director Kevin Zingler agreed, “We made a promise to focus our efforts on real, lasting and noticeable change. From seniors to youth, from school renovation and construction to town and service-related upgrades, this list verifies that the last two years have been extremely successful.”
Deputy Mayor Lisa O’Neill said, “The most important responsibility we have to this town is to ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget. I have been personally invested in making that promise a reality and I am extremely proud that we were able to accomplish this with the Manchester High School and Bennett school projects, in addition to the numerous paving and road construction projects that we have seen to completion.”
Director Jason Doucette commented on the Democrats commitment to open-space preservation, “It is critical that we preserve open-space. Through the direct purchases of the Starsiak, Dennison and Peterman properties and the contribution to purchase Upper Case Pond, we’ve shown that preserving Manchester’s environmental gems is foremost in the minds of Democrats and I know that it will continue to be in the future.”
“As an ardent proponent of public safety I think it’s important to note that, after hearing the concerns of Manchester residents, we made a commitment to fully-fund 124 police officer positions. This is in addition to providing additional funds for fire training and equipment. Because of these direct efforts, and similar efforts like youth outreach programs, crime in Manchester has decreased for 3 consecutive years and we were ranked as the #7 safest city under 60,000 in the United States by CNN Money,” said Director John Topping.
Candidate Pamela Cranford said, “This is a very impressive list. Everyone in Manchester has been positively affected by one of these achievements. Seniors, children and working families should all be very proud of the Democratic accomplishments during the last 2 years. I look forward to reviewing a similar list 2 years from now.”
The full list will be available for viewing later tonight.
