To the Editor:

Congratulations to all the folks who are choosing to run for office in Town of Colton this year. Each person has something to offer from their backgrounds and personal lives. I have learned over the years that a diversified board would be the best choice for running a fair local government.

I look at ages of candidate (we need both youth and seniors), home location of candidates (we need reps from Colton and South Colton), and past/present occupations of candidates, (we need a mix here), to name a few qualifications.

To the Editor:

During the September 30th budget work session, after less than a year in her position as town clerk, Mrs. Blackburn suggested that the deputy town clerk position be reduced to a part time position for the 2022 budget.

I feel the 2021 year has not been indicative of a “normal” workflow. Between extended COVID-19 shutdowns and part-time summer hours of the Town Clerk’s office, Canton residents were denied customary access to purchase licenses, pay their taxes, or conduct other necessary town business.
