Robert Higgins
Candidate’s Statement:
“Having served as your selectman for the past three years I am asking for your support for another term. This past term I proposed, and the board of selectmen approved, three new committees. They are tree, cemetery and video. I serve on the cemetery and video committees.
“I have been the board’s elected representative on the county budget board for the past three years.
“I proposed a new ordinance for property tax assistance that was passed at last year’s Kennebunk annual Town Meeting. It provides property relief to those 62 years and older in need of help with taxes.
“We have all heard the term, ‘It’s the economy.’ We are hit with increasing costs for gas, heating oil, electricity and food. 
“I would like a new committee to look into starting a co-op. I know there was one in the 1970s. With the cost of food, now is a good time to provide an alternative to those high prices. 
“I have asked the town manager to look into the feasibility of a wind turbine in West Kennebunk at the fire station that could serve there and the Dorothy Stevens Center.
“I made suggestions that our chief of police look at more fuel efficient vehicles besides the Ford Crown Victoria’s we now have. 
“I have done my utmost to work in your best interest no matter what the party affiliation, income or where you live. I have asked the questions that needed to be asked to bring about a more transparency in local government so taxpayers know where their tax dollars are going and how they are spent.
“I am asking for your vote on June 10 to continue to work on your behalf and together we can continue to make this town a great place to live and be a part of.  Thank you.”
