Seek Grella for Selectman

I am seeking a sixth term as Amherst Selectman. During these last fifteen years, I have been involved in numerous financial and personnel decisions with the Board on a variety of topics. It has been a truly rewarding experience to be a part of the political process. One of my most memorable decisions was, as a part of the Road Funding Analysis Committee, which analyzed all roads in town to determine the cost of rebuilding and maintaining the same. A $15 million bond was proposed and I presented it at the Deliberative Session and it was approved. Most of the bond has been spent rebuilding 22 miles of Roads. A new strategy is implemented using the DPW budget of 1.2 million dollars to redo most of the remaining roads. Each year, it is anticipated, we will add $100,000 to this figure.

As part of the budget process, I have used a common sense approach toward making a decision. Each Department’s needs must be analyzed to determine if the Taxpayers will have the ability to provide funds.
