Something old, something new, and something unexpected.
The power of campaigning, and the power of casting a vote were in evidence this week in Sturbridge. Both Tom Creamer, and Ted Goodwin landed selectman's seats. An incumbent, and the new kid on the block.
The lesson here is to never rule anything, or anyone out. If one has the passion, and the ability to expend a little more sweat than the next guy, they can certainly overcome the obstacles in their way.
The really neat thing about the outcome of this election is both winners are at opposite ends of the spectrum. With the input from each of them, we will hopefully have a Board of Selectmen that will be self adjusting. They will be a throttle, so to speak, on the extremes of each camp.
This is a good thing for Sturbridge. It may not always be pretty, but I am sure that we are headed in good direction.
Congratulations, Tom, and congratulations, Ted. Now show us what you can do, together.
Well said!
