I want to give a shout-out and express my appreciation to the Bedford Citizen for the extraordinary “Curated List of Resources to Help Voters Prepare for Saturday’s Town Election.”
An injury I sustained several months ago greatly encumbered my participation in Town affairs and curtailed my access to information. Now well on the road to recovery, I sought out coverage in the Citizen to help me prepare for the upcoming election. Your “Curated List of Resources” put all the candidates’ statements, endorsement letters, and LWV forum videos at my fingertips! Presenting this information in such a well organized and easily-accessible way is a true service to the citizenry of Bedford. Kudos to the Bedford Citizen for your commitment to top-notch journalism!
Gratefully,
