    With the resignation of June Huston from the board of selectmen, the residents of Kennebunk are faced with an important decision that will help shape the direction of our town over the next several years. Who will best represent the needs of our citizens?
    To answer that, I considered the following questions:
•    Who has the business experience to help guide the town through difficult economic conditions, make the smart budget decisions and strengthen economic development in our town?
•    Who can bring new ideas and a different perspective to the board and ultimately to the town?
•    Who is best qualified to listen objectively to the opinions of our town’s diverse citizens and vote based upon their concerns?
    Patrick Gregorich is my choice for the board of selectmen. I have worked with Patrick for the two years. He is a highly capable professional with more than 20 year of business management experience. He is committed to the future of this town and will work hard to represent you, its citizens, on the board of selectmen. Please join me in supporting Patrick for this position.
    I urge everyone to vote Feb. 21, regardless of which candidate you support. Your participation in this process is critical to our town’s future.
